  • Publication number: 20240120554
    Abstract: A method for producing an energy storage cell is provided. According to the method, a housing having a base, a tapping plate, and a wound electrode assembly are provided. The wound electrode assembly is connected to the tapping plate, and the tapping plate, which is connected to the wound electrode assembly, is arranged in the housing. The tapping plate and the base of the housing are connected to each other via laser beam welding.

  • Publication number: 20230187752
    Abstract: A holding device for battery cells for constructing a high-voltage storage module which can be used for electrically operated motor vehicles is provided. The battery cells, in a P assembly (i.e. interconnected in parallel), are provided with a minimally thin thermal insulating layer and, encased in this way, are brought into direct contact with each other in a self-holding arrangement. The intermediate spaces between the battery cells, which battery cells have been provided with the insulating layer and, encased in this way, have been brought into contact with each other, are preferably filled with a thermally conductive potting compound. The thermally conductive potting compound can additionally have high electrical conductivity and thus, in addition to the heat transfer, can also establish the contacting of the anodes in the P assembly if the anodes are also encased by the potting compound.

  • Publication number: 20230170558
    Abstract: A protective device for battery cells, a plurality of which are assembled to form a module for an electric drive of a vehicle, has a frame made of plastic provided between the battery cells and coated with a fire-retardant coating. The frame laterally separates each battery cell from the other battery cells. A further fire-retardant coating is preferably additionally applied directly onto a housing of the battery cells. An air gap can be provided between each battery cell and each separation chamber of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20230105962
    Abstract: A method for operating a battery with a hermetically sealed housing configured as a hardcase and containing at least one electrochemical cell based on an organic electrolyte is described. The method includes: opening the housing at a point configured to create a point of access to a housing interior so as to vent the at least one cell; and, after the opening, hermetically re-sealing the point of access to the housing interior. A battery which can be operated by this method is also described.

  • Publication number: 20230019895
    Abstract: A battery cell assembly includes a frame and multiple battery cells which are held in cell-individual recesses of the frame so as to be aligned parallel to one another. A respective gap filler is arranged between lateral surfaces of the battery cells and the recess inner faces facing the lateral surfaces, said gap filler connecting the battery cells and the frame together. The frame is made of a solid, dimensionally stable, and thermally conductive material, and the gap filler is made of a permanently deformable thermally conductive material. Furthermore, the inner faces of the recesses extend in the vertical direction of the battery cells over the entire length thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220089038
    Abstract: An electrochemical energy storage cell includes multiple electrodes of a first polarity and multiple electrodes of a second polarity that are arranged in an electrode stack. Each of the electrodes of the first polarity has a first arrester lug which protrudes out of the electrode stack on a first side of the electrode stack, and each of the electrodes of the second polarity has a second arrester lug which protrudes out of the electrode stack on a second side of the electrode stack. The electrode stack is arranged in a housing which is connected to the first arrester lug in an electrically conductive manner. A connection element which is arranged in a housing wall of the housing and is electrically connected to the second arrester lug is electrically insulated from the housing and is configured to electrically connect the exterior of the housing and the second arrester lug.
