This disclosure details exemplary battery pack designs for use in electrified vehicles. Exemplary battery packs may include an enclosure assembly, one or more battery internal components (e.g., battery arrays, battery electronic components, or both) inside the enclosure assembly, and a structural brace outside of the enclosure assembly. The battery internal component may be mechanically coupled to the structural brace while also being mechanically decoupled from the enclosure assembly.
