Abstract
Manufacturing processes are disclosed for assembling traction battery packs that include battery systems, such as cell-to-pack battery systems. An exemplary assembly method includes inserting one or more cell stacks of the cell-to-pack battery system into a cell-compressing opening of an enclosure tray. The method may involve the use of slider plates that provide sliding surfaces that facilitate the insertion of the cell stacks into the cell compressing opening.
