Abstract
A battery module and a method for cooling the battery module are provided. The battery module includes a housing having an electrically non-conductive oil disposed therein, and a battery cell disposed in the housing that contacts the electrically non-conductive oil. The battery module further includes first and second heat conductive fins disposed in the housing that contacts the electrically non-conductive oil. The first and second heat conductive fins extract heat energy from the electrically non-conductive oil. The battery module further includes first and second conduits extending through the first and second heat conductive fins, respectively. The first and second conduits receive first and second portions of a fluid, respectively, therethrough and conduct heat energy from the first and second heat conductive fins, respectively, into the fluid to cool the battery cell.
