A flexible module connector and method of making a flexible module connector for electrically connecting modules of an energy storage device

摘要

The invention relates to a flexible module connector for electrically connecting a first module and a second module of an energy store, wherein the module connector 10 is formed from a plurality of stacked layers of a metallic foil, wherein a first plurality of layers 12 of the metallic foil at a cell terminal 16 the first module can be fastened and a second plurality of layers 14 of the metallic foil are attachable to a cell terminal 18 of the second module, wherein respective layers of the first plurality of layers 12 and the second plurality of layers 14 of the metallic foil are alternately stacked one inside the other and respectively have a length such that the first plurality of layers 12 and the second plurality of layers 14 of the metallic foil have only partial overlap, and wherein the flexible module connector 10 has a fastening means 20 for securing the first plurality of layers 12 to the second n has a plurality of layers 14 of the metallic foil. The invention further relates to a method for producing a flexible module connector and to an apparatus for stacking a plurality of layers of a metallic foil to form a flexible module connector.
