Hybrid/EV Battery Pack
The Hybrid/EV Battery Pack is located in the rear compartment of the vehicle, directly behind the rear passenger seat, and serves as a modular assembly to contain many of the eAssist control modules and system components. The Hybrid/EV Battery Pack may also be referred to as the following names:
- Energy Storage System
- Power Pack
- Generator Control and Battery Module Assembly
The Hybrid/EV Battery Pack first consists of a metal tray that is fixed to the vehicle floor. This provides a strong mount for other components to secure to. Within the Hybrid/EV Battery Pack, the hybrid/EV battery section 1 and hybrid/EV battery section 2 are located nearest to the left side of the vehicle. Directly above the battery sections is the battery energy control module. To the right of the battery sections and nearest to the right side of the vehicle is the Starter/Generator Control Module. Above the Starter/Generator Control Module is the generator battery disconnect relay assembly and battery energy control module wiring junction block assembly. A case cover is secured over the top of all components, effectively creating the Hybrid/EV Battery Pack and preventing access to any high voltage components without first disabling the high voltage system.
The Hybrid/EV Battery Pack is also integral to the hybrid/EV cooling system. Foam gaskets are adhered to the metal battery pack tray. This seals the underside of the Starter/Generator Control Module to ensure proper airflow under the control module for cooling purposes. The Hybrid/EV Battery Pack case cover also provides a mounting surface for the Hybrid/EV Battery Pack Cooling Fan and has openings where the plastic vents are allowed to pass into the Hybrid/EV Battery Pack to direct air through components which require cooling.
