1. A lithium ion battery module with a housing, a plurality of electrically coupled lithium ion battery cells arranged in a stack within the housing and electrically coupled together, wherein the electrically coupled plurality of lithium ion battery cells comprise at least a voltage of 48 volts (V), the lithium ion battery module having an outermost length dimension of 394 mm and an outermost width dimension of 175 mm, the lithium ion battery module comprising footings on two opposing sides of the housing and excluding footings on two additional opposing sides of the housing in order to accommodate two end plates on the two additional opposing sides of the housing, the footings extend to the outermost width dimension, and the footings are positioned in a location corresponding to a location of footings on a lead acid battery having the outermost length dimension of 394 mm and the outermost width dimension of 175 mm; and
the battery module comprising a ground terminal coupled with an anode of the stack, a first positive terminal coupled with a cathode of the stack and configured to provide a first voltage, and a second terminal coupled with the cathode of the stack via a DC-to-DC converter to provide a second voltage, wherein the DC-to-DC converter is disposed within the housing.
