1. A battery pack assembly comprising two holding frames, wherein the two holding frames hold a plurality of pouch cells between them, wherein at least two pouch cells of the plurality of pouch cells are connected by a conductor, and wherein the two holding frames are reversibly held with respect to one another in a closed condition by a fastener, wherein the fastener causes terminals of the two pouch cells to be urged against the conductor and removal or loosening of the fastener enables the pouch cells to be freed from the assembly, the assembly comprising one or more elastomeric protrusions and wherein the conductor is positioned such that at least a part of the conductor lies between one or more elastomeric protrusions and one or more pouch cell terminals, such that with the frames in the closed condition the conductor is urged into contact by the elastomeric protrusions with said one or more pouch cell terminals.
