A portable electrical energy storage device is provided with a frame that includes a plurality of receptacles for receiving a portion of a portable electrical energy storage cell. A cap is provided over the plurality of receptacles and the portion of the portable electrical energy storage cells received in the frame. In some embodiments, a passageway extends between adjacent receptacles. Disposed within the passageway is a plug which exhibits more resistance to thermal energy migration than other portions of the frame that define the adjacent receptacles.

The portable electrical energy storage device of claim 3, wherein the thickness of the second wall portion of the frame is less than the thickness of the first wall portion of the frame. 5. The portable electrical energy storage device of claim 3, further comprising a plug positioned in at least a portion of the passageway extending between the first receptacle and the second receptacle. 6. The portable electrical energy storage device of claim 5, wherein the plug comprises a material more resistant to thermal energy migration than a material comprising the second wall portion. 7. The portable electrical energy storage device of claim 1, wherein the frame further comprises a plurality of peripheral receptacles located at a periphery of the frame, each of the peripheral receptacles bounded by a peripheral wall, each peripheral wall characterized in part by the absence of a passageway extending through the peripheral wall. 8. The portable electrical energy storage device of claim 1, the at least one of the plurality of receptacles including a first wall portion and a second wall portion, the second wall portion including a section equally or more resistant to thermal energy migration than the first wall portion and a section having less resistance to thermal energy migration than the section of the second wall portion that has equal or more resistance to thermal energy migration than the first wall portion. 9. The portable electrical energy storage device of claim 8, wherein the first wall portion comprises a first material and the section of the second wall portion of the frame having less resistance to thermal energy migration than the section of the second wall portion that has equal or more resistance to thermal energy migration than the first wall portion comprises a second material, the first material and the second material being the same. 10. A method of forming a frame for retaining a plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells in an array within a portable electrical energy storage device, the method comprising: providing a frame including a plurality of receptacles, at least one of the plurality of receptacles for receiving an end of one of the plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells, the frame formed from a first material;receiving, in the at least one of the plurality of receptacles, the end of one of the plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells; andforming a cap of a second material over the frame adjacent the at least one of the plurality of receptacles and over the end of one of the plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells received in the at least one of the plurality of receptacles, the second material being different from the first material. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the at least one of the plurality of receptacles includes a first receptacle, the first receptacle bounded by a first wall portion of the frame and a second wall portion of the frame, the second wall portion of the frame bounding a portion of a second receptacle for receiving an end of an individual electrical energy storage cell, the second wall portion of the frame being less resistant to thermal energy migration than the first wall portion of the frame, the method further comprising: forming a passageway in the second wall portion of the frame, the passageway extending between the first receptacle and the second receptacle; anddisposing a plug in the passageway. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the plug comprises a material more resistant to thermal energy migration than a material comprising the second wall portion. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the first wall portion of the frame comprises a first material and the second wall portion of the frame comprise a second material, the first material and the second material being the same. 14. A frame for retaining a plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells in an array within a portable electrical energy storage device, the frame comprising: a plurality of receptacles, at least one of the plurality of receptacles receiving an end of one of the plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells, the frame being formed from a first material; anda cap formed of a second material, the cap covering the frame adjacent the at least one of the plurality of receptacles and covering the end of the one electrical energy storage cell received in the at least one of the plurality of receptacles, the second material being different from the first material. 15. The frame for retaining a plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells in an array within a portable electrical energy storage device of claim 14, wherein the frame further comprises a passageway extending between the at least one of the plurality of receptacles and another adjacent one of the plurality of receptacles for receiving an end of another electrical energy storage cell, wherein the second material is disposed within the passageway. 16. The frame for retaining a plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells in an array within a portable electrical energy storage device of claim 14, wherein the at least one of the plurality of receptacles includes a first receptacle for receiving an end of one of the plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells, the first receptacle bounded by a first wall portion of the frame and a second wall portion of the frame, the second wall portion of the frame bounding a portion of a second receptacle for receiving an end of one of the plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells, the second wall portion of the frame including a passageway extending between the first receptacle and the second receptacle, the second wall portion of the frame being less resistant to thermal energy migration than the first wall portion of the frame. 17. The frame for retaining a plurality of individual electrical energy storage cells in an array within a portable electrical energy storage device of claim 16, wherein the thickness of the second wall portion of the frame is less than the thickness of the first wall portion of the frame. 18.
