A battery cell interconnect and voltage sensing assembly is provided. The assembly includes a plastic frame member having a first side and a second side, and first, second, third and fourth elongated apertures extending therethrough. The assembly further includes an elongated interconnect member coupled to the plastic frame member and extends past both the first and third apertures. The elongated interconnect member is coupled to both a first electrical terminal of a first battery cell extending through the first elongated aperture, and a first electrical terminal of a second battery cell extending through the third elongated aperture. The elongated interconnect member has a spade lug coupled to a wire harness assembly.
