Abstract

Vehicles incorporating various methods and devices for mounting a fraction battery include securing the traction battery to a structural member of the vehicle in a manner that releases the traction battery from the structural member of the vehicle in response to an external load applied to the fraction battery that exceeds a threshold. A mounting member includes a slot for guiding movement of the battery away from the external load to reduce or eliminate compressive loading of the battery. Fasteners include a guide portion that cooperates with the slot and a shear portion that secures the battery in a first position but separates from the guide portion in response to the external load to allow the battery to move to a second position away from the external load.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for locating a traction battery on a hybrid or electric vehicle. Background technique [0002] Hybrid and electric vehicles include high-voltage battery packs that provide power to the traction motors and other vehicle components. The large size and heavy weight of battery packs present various challenges in terms of packaging the packs in vehicles. Various vehicle designs have positioned the battery pack at the rear of the vehicle (typically behind the passenger compartment) to meet design goals regarding comfort, handling, and the like. Contents of the invention [0003] Embodiments according to the present disclosure include a vehicle having a body and a traction battery. The traction battery is releasably secured to the vehicle body using a fastening member having a guide integrally connected to the cutout and a traction battery mounting member. The traction battery mounting member coope...
