A battery cell assembly, a heat exchanger, and a method for manufacturing the heat exchanger are provided. The heat exchanger includes a rectangular-shaped sheet having first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions coupled together at a bent edge such that the sheet portions are disposed proximate to one another. Outer edges of the first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions are coupled together such that an interior region is formed between the first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions. The bent edge has first and second apertures extending therethrough. The heat exchanger further includes a first inlet port disposed on the bent edge over the first aperture, and a second outlet port disposed on the bent edge over the second aperture, such that fluid can flow through the first inlet port and into the interior region and then through the outlet port.

1. A heat exchanger, comprising: a rectangular-shaped sheet having first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions coupled together at a bent edge of the rectangular-shaped sheet such that the first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions are disposed proximate to one another and generally parallel to one another, outer edges of the first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions being coupled together such that an interior region is formed between the first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions, the bent edge defining an outer planar surface, the bent edge having first and second apertures extending therethrough;a first inlet port having a tubular portion and a ring-shaped portion, the ring-shaped portion being coupled to an end of the tubular portion and extending substantially perpendicular and outwardly from the tubular portion, the ring-shaped portion being disposed on and coupled to the outer planar surface of the bent edge, the ring-shaped portion being further disposed over the first aperture; anda first outlet port being disposed on the bent edge over the second aperture, such that fluid can flow through the first inlet port and into the interior region and then through the first outlet port. 2. The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the first rectangular-shaped sheet portion has a first outer peripheral flat sheet portion, a first interior sheet portion, and first, second, and third outer edges; the first outer peripheral flat sheet portion being disposed proximate to the first, second, and third outer edges of the first rectangular-shaped sheet portion; andthe first interior sheet portion being surrounded by the first outer peripheral flat sheet portion and the bent edge, and at least a first portion of the first interior sheet portion extending outwardly from the first outer peripheral flat sheet portion. 3. The heat exchanger of claim 2, wherein the second rectangular-shaped sheet portion has a second outer peripheral flat sheet portion, a second interior sheet portion, and first, second, and third outer edges; the second outer peripheral flat sheet portion being disposed proximate to the first, second, and third outer edges of the second rectangular-shaped sheet portion;the second interior sheet portion being surrounded by the second outer peripheral flat sheet portion and the bent edge, and at least a second portion of the second interior sheet portion extending outwardly from the second outer peripheral flat sheet portion; andthe second outer peripheral flat sheet portion being disposed adjacent to the first outer peripheral flat sheet portion and coupled to the first outer peripheral flat sheet portion. 4. The heat exchanger of claim 3, wherein the first interior sheet portion includes a third portion substantially co-planar with the first outer peripheral flat sheet portion that extends from the bent edge toward the second edge of the first rectangular-shaped sheet portion; andthe second interior sheet portion includes a fourth portion substantially co-planar with the second outer peripheral flat sheet portion that extends from the bent edge toward the second edge of the second rectangular-shaped sheet portion, the third portion of the first interior sheet portion being disposed adjacent to the fourth portion of the second interior sheet portion, such that the interior region is at least partially partitioned by the third and fourth portions. 5. The heat exchanger of claim 4, wherein third and fourth portions are linearly-extending portions. 6. The heat exchanger of claim 4, wherein the third and fourth portions are circular-shaped portions. 7. The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the rectangular-shaped sheet is constructed of at least one of aluminum and stainless-steel. 8. The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein the first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions define a planar sheet portion at the bent edge having the first aperture extending therethrough, the planar sheet portion having the outer planar surface. 9. The heat exchanger of claim 8, wherein the first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions further define first and second sheet portions, respectively, extending from the planar sheet portion at first and second arcuate angles, respectively, relative to the planar sheet portion. 10. The heat exchanger of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second rectangular-shaped sheet portions have a substantially uniform thickness.
