See full text

An exemplary thermal interface material installation method includes, among other things, moving a material through a conduit to a cavity within a battery array. The conduit is at least partially provided by a thermal exchange plate of the battery array. The method further includes holding the material within the cavity to provide a thermal interface material between the thermal exchange plate and at least one battery cell assembly. An exemplary battery thermal interface material installation assembly includes a thermal exchange plate including a conduit with at least one inlet that opens to an exterior of a battery array, and at least one outlet that opens to a cavity between the thermal exchange plate and a plurality of battery cell assemblies.
