Battery modules having interconnect members are provided. An interconnect member includes a first plate portion having a first thickness. The interconnect member further includes a second plate portion having a second thickness equal to the first thickness. The second plate portion extends generally parallel to the first plate portion. The interconnect member further includes a first vibration dampening portion coupled to the first and second plate portions. The first vibration dampening portion has a third thickness greater than the first thickness, such that vibrations induced on the first plate portion are attenuated when a portion of the vibrations pass through the first vibration dampening portion to the second plate portion.
