Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an enclosure for a battery pack. The enclosure may include one or more casted portions, such as a casted front member and a casted rear member. The casted portions may provide benefits including reducing a number of seal paths on the enclosure, facilitating serviceability of various electrical components from a bottom of the battery pack, reducing a number of parts of the enclosure, facilitating efficient battery pack assembly, facilitating connector placement for ergonomics and/or damage protection, facilitating placement of vents, providing casted in lid, lung, and/or skid plate attachments, and/or improving strike reinforcement features.
