Abstract
Battery systems according to embodiments of the present technology may include a battery including a lid that defines lateral dimensions of the battery and a base. The base may define an internal volume of the battery between an interior surface of the lid and an interior surface of the base. The base may be coupled with the lid to define a flange extending about lateral edges of the battery. The base may define a tiered profile along an exterior surface of the battery towards a first lateral edge of the battery. The tiered profile may include a first tier defining a depth of the battery, a second tier defining a first terrace proximate the flange along an intersection of the first lateral edge of the battery and a second lateral edge of the battery, and a third tier extending inward from the first lateral edge of the battery and extending between the first terrace and the second terrace. A battery may also include a module seated on the exterior surface of the base of the battery along the third tier, and between the first terrace and the second terrace.
