Battery packs, including modular battery packs, hold a variety of numbers of batter modules. When the number is less than the full capacity of battery modules, a bridging component is used to hold various components of the battery pack. When a space within a battery pack frame is unoccupied by a battery module (or battery modules) of the battery pack, the bridging component may hold a cooling manifold of the battery pack. Also, the bridging component may hold busbars used in part to complete a high voltage circuit that includes the battery modules. The bridging component may include clips designed to secure the busbars. The bridging component may further include a metal insert to provide additional structural rigidity. Further, the bridging component may include guides and clips to secure the bridging component to a component (e.g., crossmember) of the battery pack.
