Abstract
A battery module includes a power assembly including a first battery cell and a second battery cell in a stacked orientation relative to each other. The first battery cell includes a first tab electrode extending therefrom, and the second battery cell includes a second tab electrode extending therefrom. The battery module also includes an interconnect assembly configured to facilitate electrically coupling the first tab electrode with the second tab electrode with the first and second battery cells in the stacked orientation. The interconnect assembly includes a crimping element disposed over the first and second tab electrodes. The crimping element is configured to apply a compressive force to the first and second tab electrodes such that the first and second tab electrodes are secured in electrical communication via direct contact.
