Embodiments are disclosed of a battery enclosure for a vehicle. The battery enclosure includes a rigid frame forming a perimeter of the enclosure. The rigid frame has a T-shaped cross section including a web and a flange. The flange has a pair of flange sections that project away from the centerline of the web. A bottom panel having an inner side and an outer side is positioned within the perimeter formed by the rigid frame so that the outer side of the bottom panel rests on one of the pair of flange sections. A perimeter edge of the bottom panel is positioned in a corner formed by the web and the flange section on which the bottom panel rests. A seal is positioned in the corner formed by the inner side of the bottom panel and the web, and a joiner couples the bottom panel to the flange section on which the bottom panel rests.
