Abstract
This disclosure details battery assemblies for use within electrified vehicle battery packs. An exemplary battery assembly includes a grouping of battery cells and an array plate assembly contacting a portion of the battery assembly. The array plate assembly may embody a split panel design that includes an outer panel and an inner panel that are arranged to nest together. One or both of the outer panel and the inner panel may include an embossing pattern. Among various other advantages, the split panel design increases the stiffness of the array plate assembly without significantly increasing the overall package depth of the array plate assembly or the battery assembly.
