The present disclosure relates to reducing formation of condensate in a battery compartment using a dehumidification chamber in which air is conditioned prior to entering the battery compartment. In one embodiment, a cooling system may be configured to produce a flow of coolant. The dehumidification chamber configured to receive a flow of ambient air from an environment. A heat transfer device may be in thermal communication with the dehumidification chamber and configured to receive the flow of coolant. The heat transfer device may produce a flow of conditioned air from a thermal interaction between the flow of coolant and the flow of ambient air. The battery compartment may house a battery and may receive the flow of conditioned air and the flow of coolant. In some embodiments, the flow of coolant may pass through the heat transfer device before the flow of coolant passes through the battery compartment.
