Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A battery module includes a plurality of electrochemical cells each comprising a vent at one end of the cell configured to allow gas to escape from within the cell. The battery module also includes a structure configured to receive the plurality of electrochemical cells so that the vent of each electrochemical cell is in fluid communication with a chamber within the structure. The structure includes a first portion having a protrusion provided along an outer edge thereof and a second portion having a groove provided along an outer edge thereof. The groove is configured to receive the protrusion of the first portion to seal gas released from any of the electrochemical cells within the chamber.
