1. A method comprising:
supporting a plurality of lithium-ion cells disposed within respective isolation chambers of a thermally insulating cell support structure; and
disposing a thermal dissipation member between a housing and the plurality of lithium-ion cells so as to collectively form a heat sink with each lithium-ion cell of the plurality of lithium-ion cells and the housing, wherein:
the plurality of lithium-ion cells are disposed within the housing;
the thermal dissipation member closes a respective open end of each of the respective isolation chambers to physically isolate each isolation chamber from each other isolation chamber; and
the thermal dissipation member is thermally coupled to the plurality of lithium-ion cells so as to dissipate thermal energy from one of the plurality of lithium-ion cells to the housing and at least another of the plurality of lithium-ion cells, through the thermal dissipation member.
