A connector 400 comprises a toroidal chamber 410 having a central void 420. The connector includes at least one first aperture (430, Fig 5) disposed at a first portion 412 of the toroidal chamber, the first aperture(s) being configured to connect the toroidal chamber to a coolant conduit 310. The connector also includes at least one second aperture (440, Fig 5) configured to connect the toroidal chamber to an interior of a cooling plate 260, the second aperture(s) being disposed at a different portion 414 of the toroidal chamber to the first aperture(s). The toroidal chamber, when connected to the coolant conduit and the interior of the cooling plate, provides a coolant flow path for coolant fluid between the coolant conduit and the interior of the cooling plate via the first and second apertures. A battery coolant system, battery module, vehicle and method of manufacturing the battery coolant system are also disclosed. The toroidal chamber may be formed from separate housing parts (610, 620, Fig 6) fastened together by a fastening member (640, Fig 6) located in the central void of the chamber, and may include a sealing gasket (630, Fig 6) therebetween.
