Abstract

Methods and systems for creating a battery module. A battery cell can include a cooling device that cools a busbar and a power electronics package. To allow the cooling device to be attached to the busbar and allow the cooling device to cool both the power electronics and the busbar, the cooling device is mounted on the busbar with the busbar held between two portions of the cooling device and with the power electronics mounted on an opposite side of the cooling device from the busbar. The fluid or phase change material may then circulate through a cavity in the cooling device to cool both the power electronics and the busbar.
