Abstract
A battery system includes a pair of current collectors that are configured to provide a parallel electrical connection between electrochemical cells of a cell array. The pair of current collectors includes a first current collector plate that provides an electrical connection between the ends of the respective cells, and a second current collector plate that includes openings that receive the cells therein, and provide an electrical connection between the sidewalls of the respective cells. The current collectors are each on the same end of the cells and the opposed end of the cell can be protected or electrically isolated for a multitude of functions, such as cell cooling.
