Abstract:
A containment system (100) includes a housing (106). A battery pack (104) is situated within the housing. One or more ports (114) are disposed along a surface of the housing. An effluent containment pouch (108) is coupled to the surface of the housing. The effluent containment pouch spans the one or more ports. The effluent containment pouch expands when an electrochemical cell (105) experiences a thermal runaway condition, capturing expelled effluent (116).
