In this page, methods of keeping a battery module electrically isolated from the rest of the car will be discussed.

(Up to this point), I couldn’t find any content exactly on keeping a battery module electrically isolated. What I have found about electrical isolation can be summed up with the following:

  1. Keep live wires away from locations where they can make contact with other components and/or hands

  2. Any exposed conductors should not be connected to the electrical system

  3. Keep wires from fraying/leaking

  4. In general, keep a layer of insulating material between conductors


The regulations state that for our battery module,

  • Used electrically insulating sleeve washers on both ends of the hookup nut & bolt

    • Hard fiber sleeves

  • Disk springs made of stainless steel to keep the pieces pressed together

  • Hookup was not in contact with busbar
