Abstract
A battery cell terminal having structure for receiving a thermal conductor. The receiving structure may comprise a bore defined by an inner surface of the terminal. The thermal conductor may be a heat pipe or other suitable conductor. A layer of electrical insulation may be disposed between the terminal and the thermal conductor. The terminal conducts heat produced by electrodes in the cell to the thermal conductor which then conducts the heat to a heat sink.
