A cooling plate distributes a coolant for an electrical battery, and is defined by parallel first and second edges and parallel third and fourth edges. A coolant inlet is arranged at a junction between the first and fourth edges, and a coolant outlet arranged at a junction between the second and fourth edges. A first coolant channel is arranged along the first edge, in direct communication with the inlet, and a second coolant channel is arranged along the second edge, in direct communication with the outlet. First and second sets of coolant mini-channels are in direct communication with the second channel. A first coolant manifold, arranged proximate the third edge, is in direct communication with the first channel. A second coolant manifold, arranged proximate the fourth edge, is in direct communication with the inlet. The two manifolds are in communication with the outlet via the respective sets of mini-channels.
