Abstract
A traction battery assembly includes a conduit having an interior that carries a thermal management fluid. A thermal bridge extends into the conduit and spans across the interior from a first side of the conduit to an opposite, second side of the conduit. A traction battery thermal transfer method includes positioning a thermal bridge relative to a conduit such that the thermal bridge extends across an interior of the conduit from a first side of the conduit to an opposite, second side of the conduit, and moving a thermal management fluid through the conduit to exchange thermal energy with the thermal bridge.
