Abstract
An exemplary battery assembly includes, among other things, battery cells distributed along an axis and disposed on a base. A bracket extends axially along a side of the battery cells. A plate extends from a first side to an opposing, second side of the battery cells. A retention flange of the plate is held between the bracket and the base. An exemplary method of retaining includes holding battery cells relative to a base using a bracket extending along a side of the array, and positioning a retention flange of a plate between the bracket and the base. A primary portion of the plate is disposed along an axial end of the array.
