The assembly includes a battery containment apparatus including a chassis base and divider sheets coupled to the chassis base, wherein the divider sheets are spaced from each other such that a battery cell slot is defined between adjacent sheets. The apparatus further includes a compression plate assembly including first compression and second compression plates coupled to a divider sheet at opposing ends of the apparatus, and a tensioning member coupled between the first and second compression plates. A battery cell is positioned within each battery cell slot defining a plurality of battery cells, and the first and second compression plates compressively hold the battery cells between the divider sheets. At least one of the chassis base and the compression plate assembly are formed from a thermoplastic material.
