This disclosure details exemplary battery pack designs for use in electrified vehicles. Exemplary battery packs may include a sense lead assembly having a circuit board that is centrally mounted between first and second wiring members (e.g., flat flexibles cables or flat printed circuits). The circuit board establishes a suitable mounting surface for incorporating sense lead fuses into the sense lead assembly. The centralized sense lead fuses provide for simple and reliable servicing of the battery array in response to battery overcurrent conditions.

Systems and methods for providing individual battery cell circuit protection

A thermistor assembly includes an elastomeric body, a thermistor housed at least partially inside the elastomeric body, and a thermistor tip that protrudes outside of the elastomeric body. The thermistor assembly may be used within a battery assembly of an electrified vehicle.

Thermistor assembly including elastomeric body

An exemplary electrified vehicle busbar assembly includes a housing, a clamping beam held by the housing, and a plurality of busbars held by the housing.

Electrified vehicle busbar assembly

A thermistor assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an elastomeric body, a thermistor housed at least partially inside the elastomeric body and a thermistor tip that protrudes outside of the elastomeric body.
