Patent number: 8642203Abstract: A round cell rechargeable battery includes a plurality of round cells arranged next to one another and a dissipation element that is electrically insulated from the round cells and connects a group of round cells in thermally-conductive fashion so as to dissipate heat. The dissipation element is in the form of a rod and is bent in such a way that it runs in zigzag fashion alternately in each case along a lower side, an adjoining side wall, and an upper side of the round cells. The battery also includes an electrically-insulating, thermally-conductive, rubber-elastic thermoplastic elastomer, which is arranged at least partially between the dissipation element and the round cells to insulate the dissipation element electrically from the round cells and to dissipate heat from the round cells to the dissipation element.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2010Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Johnson Controls Hybrid And Recycling GmbHInventors: Ralf Joswig, Helge Brenner, Markus Hoh, Martin Wiegmann

Patent number: 8100211Abstract: An electrochemical accumulator includes a plurality of electrochemical cells, each of which has a casing. The accumulator also includes a cover, a housing which is closed by the cover, an electrolyte in the housing, and at least one connecting pole for making electrical contact with the accumulator, where the connecting pole is electrically connected to a group of the electrochemical cells. The accumulator also includes a cooling air area for holding cooling air for cooling the cells and a degassing area for holding a gas which emerges from the cells in the event of a defect. The cooling air area and the degassing area are separated from one another in a gas-tight manner and the cooling air area and the degassing area are passed out of the housing independently of one another. The cooling air area has channels which are guided on the casings of the cells outside the cells.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2010Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Johnson Controls Hybrid and Recycling GmbHInventors: Markus Hoh, Joerg Birkholz, Martin Wiegmann
