NOVELTY - The battery module has a bus bar electrically coupled to one of battery cells of multiple battery cells. A battery terminal (24, 26) carries voltage from the bus bar and comprises a cylindrical terminal portion and a connector (120, 121) coupled to the bus bar, where the connector is integral with the cylindrical terminal portion. The battery terminal comprises a bent portion arranged between the terminal portion and the connector. The bent portion is integral with the connector and the terminal portion.    USE - Lead acid battery module for use in energy storage/expending applications e.g. vehicular contexts, of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), micro-hybrid electric vehicle (mHEV) and plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) such as all-electric or battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and electric vehicle conversions of hybrid electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles.    ADVANTAGE - The assemblies include features that facilitate relatively easy assembly of the battery module, lowered cost of assembling the battery module, longer life of the battery module and reduced packaging of the battery module. The module improves electrical communication from battery cells to battery terminals by reducing or eliminating resistance due to mechanical connections between the battery terminals and the battery terminal connectors. The module forms electrical connections between high current components to reduce complexity of manufacturing and assembling PCB assembly and reduce space requirements of the PCB assembly within the battery module. The module reduces height of a fuse assembly acting as shock absorbers by S-shaped bends, thus enabling the fuse assembly to withstand vibrations of a vehicle during operation.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The connector comprises a RADLOCK connector. The terminal portion comprises a RADLOCK pin configured to be received in and coupled to the RADLOCK connector. The bent portion comprises a U-shaped bend. The battery terminal is an integrally formed piece e.g. cold-formed integrally formed piece. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for manufacturing a battery terminal for use in a battery module.
