Abstract: A traction battery including a battery shell and a plurality of battery modules arranged in the battery shell. Each battery module has a safety valve. The traction battery also includes a battery cover and a ventilation element for aerating and/or venting the traction battery. The traction battery has a guide means, which is regularly permeable, at least in part, to a designated fluid volume flow, for deflecting a designated fluid volume flow emerging in a designated manner from a safety valve in the direction of the ventilation element. The traction battery has a venting channel which extends from the guide means to the ventilation element.

Abstract: An operating fluid tank for a motor vehicle, in particular for storing an aqueous additive, comprising: a tank wall made of a thermoplastic material, wherein the tank wall has a top, a bottom and side walls, and the tank wall delimits a tank volume, wherein the tank volume has a height, a depth and a width; and at least one electrically operated heating device having one or more heating elements, the heating element being inserted into an outer depression of the tank wall, or into an outer recess or opening in the tank wall, or into an inner structure that is integrally formed with the tank wall and that extends into the tank volume, and said heating element extending over at least one third of the height of the tank volume and being electrically contacted outside the tank volume.
