    Abstract: A motor vehicle high-voltage energy accumulator having a housing with battery modules mounted inside, wherein the housing has a bottom wall, a top wall, a front end wall, a rear end wall, a left side wall, and a right side wall. In each case, two oppositely arranged walls of the housing which are oriented in the longitudinal direction have load-path-forming supporting structure plates and cooling ducts through which cooling liquid flows. Here, the cooling ducts are either integrated directly into the supporting structure plate in the form of cavities or formed by the connection of a separate cooling structure plate to the supporting structure plate. The supporting structure plate and, where appropriate, the cooling structure plate increase the structural stability or the formation of cooling ducts.
