Abstract
An exemplary array activating assembly includes, among other things a disconnect key moveable back and forth between an engaged and a disengaged position relative to a battery array. The disconnect key completes an electrical conductive path of the battery array when in the engaged position. The electrical conductive path is open when the disconnect key is in the disengaged position. An exemplary array activating method includes moving a disconnect key relative to a battery array from a disengaged to an engaged position. The disconnect key completes an electrical conductive path of the battery array when in the engaged position. The disconnect key does not complete the electrical conductive path when in the disengaged position.
