Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure relates to a battery assembly for a vehicle such as an electric vehicle or a hybrid electric vehicle, and to methods associated with such an assembly. As disclosed, there is provided a battery assembly for a vehicle, the assembly having a housing, the housing for containing a coolant fluid and at least one battery cell to be cooled by said coolant fluid, the assembly further having a first container volume having a lower portion in fluid communication with an upper portion of the housing, wherein the first container volume has a smaller cross-sectional area in a horizontal plane than that of the housing, and the assembly further having a second container volume having a lower portion in fluid communication with an upper portion of the first container volume. The disclosed battery assembly provides improved battery performance by virtue of improved cell temperature management, particularly when packaging is constrained.
