This disclosure describes a battery tower design using pouch cell or blade cell batteries to build modular towers and assemble battery units to fit within electrified heavy-duty equipment. The battery units are modular to enable expansion of the battery units horizontally and/or vertically to fit within irregular-shaped compartments originally intended for non-electric powertrain components. The battery towers are modular units with frames for holding battery cells with their width in a vertical direction and stacking the cells vertically along a length of a frame that includes passive and active cooling components.
