Abstract
Traction battery packs are disclosed that include battery systems. A cell stack/cell matrix of the battery system may be positioned within an enclosure tray of the traction battery pack. A wedge insert may be positioned at an interface between the cell stack/cell matrix and a side wall of the enclosure tray. The side wall may include a draft angle. The wedge insert may be configured to translate the draft angle in order to apply a compressive load in a direction that is substantially normal to the cell stack/cell matrix.
