Abstract
A battery pack assembly method includes compressing at least one cell stack, inserting the at least one cell stack into a cell-receiving opening of an enclosure structure, and pushing at least one cell of the at least one cell stack out of the enclosure structure using a pusher. Another traction battery pack assembly method includes moving a cell stack into an enclosure structure from a compression fixture that compresses the cell stack. The cell stack includes a plurality of battery cells. After the moving, the method compresses the cell stack using the enclosure structure. The method then includes establishing electrical connections between the battery cells of the cell stack, and testing the electrical connections prior to securing a busbar to the cell stack.
