Abstract
An end plate for a vehicle battery pack is specially designed to span multiple rows of battery cells and to protect the cells if an object strikes the side of the vehicle. The end plate includes a curved front wall, a flat rear wall, and several cantilevered struts perpendicular to the rear walls. The cantilevered struts are dimensioned such that they buckle to absorb energy rather than transmitting force to the battery cells.
