1. A battery module comprising:
a housing comprising a plurality of intake holes on a first side of the housing and a plurality of exhaust holes on a second side of the housing different from the first side;
a plurality of cell tubes positioned in the housing, each of the plurality of cell tubes being configured to house no more than one battery cell within the cell tube; and
a conductive plate having a plurality of openings and a plurality of vent holes separate from the plurality of openings, the conductive plate being configured to support the plurality of cell tubes at one end of each of the plurality of cell tubes using a plurality of connectors positioned in the plurality of openings,
wherein an air flow that enters the plurality of intake holes passes through the plurality of vent holes and exits through the plurality of exhaust holes to cool the plurality of cell tubes, and the air flow does not enter the plurality of cell tubes to prevent humidity or dust in the air flow from reaching the battery cells within the plurality of cell tubes.
