  • Patent number: 8551640
    Abstract: The invention relates to a battery pack (1) for electric vehicles or vehicles with an electric hybrid drive. The battery pack (1) according to the invention comprises a battery housing (2) and battery cells, which are arranged within the battery housing (2), are self-contained and are electrically connected to one another in order to achieve a desired terminal voltage. A plurality of battery cells are in each case arranged at a distance from one another in a fastening frame (6) and in each case form cell modules (4). The cell modules (4) are in each case arranged on fastening elements, which pass through the battery housing (2), the fastening elements, being in the form of spacers between the cell modules (4) and, with the battery housing (2), forming a bearing unit.

  • Patent number: 7858222
    Abstract: The present invention relates to separator-electrode units for lithium batteries and also to a process for their production. The separator-electrode units comprise a porous electrode which is useful as a positive electrode (cathode) or negative electrode (anode) in a lithium battery and a separator layer applied to this electrode and are characterized in that the separator-electrode units comprise a purely inorganic separator layer which comprises at least two fractions of metal oxide particles which differ from each other in their average particle size and/or in the metal. More particularly, the separator layer comprises metal oxide particles having an average particle size (Dg) which is greater than the average pore size (d) of the pores of the porous positive electrode that are bonded together by metal oxide particles having a particle size (Dk) which is smaller than the pores of the porous electrode.
