A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12002980B2) discloses a unique battery pack design comprising a plurality of battery cells arranged between two frames extending in different directions. The frames include end portions with hollow cavity portions, double plates, protrusions, and recesses, providing a secure and efficient coupling mechanism. The coupling blocks further enhance the structural integrity of the battery pack by fitting into the cavity portions and creating a multi-layered overlapping structure at the front and rear positions of the battery cells.

Moreover, the battery pack features a side portion with reinforcing ribs, supporting the terminal and bottom surfaces of the battery cells. The design also includes a spacer assembly with interconnected spacers to maintain the alignment and spacing between adjacent battery cells. The innovative features of this battery pack design aim to improve the overall performance, safety, and reliability of battery packs used in various applications, including electric vehicles, portable electronics, and energy storage systems.
