  • Patent number: 9343724
    Abstract: To provide a cell connector for the electrically conductive connection of a first cell terminal of a first electrochemical cell and a second cell terminal of a second electrochemical cell of an electrochemical device, which allows a reliable and fail-safe connection of the cell terminals, it is proposed that the cell connector comprises a first contact section for connection to the first cell terminal, a second contact section for connection to the second cell terminal and an elastically and/or plastically deformable compensation region, which connects the first contact section and the second contact section to one another and allows a movement of these contact sections relative to one another.

  • Publication number: 20130252049
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting the temperature of an electrochemical energy storage system, in particular for use in a motor vehicle, includes a temperature sensor unit. The energy storage system has one or more storage cells with, in each case, two connection terminals for making electric contact therewith. The connection terminals are in electric contact via connection elements. In order to detect a temperature corresponding to an internal temperature of the storage cells, a respective temperature sensor of the temperature sensor unit is arranged on a connection terminal of at least one of the storage cells of the energy storage system.

  • Publication number: 20120231320
    Abstract: A device for electrical interconnection of cells (12) of a battery pack (11) by means of cell connectors (15) and a battery pack (11) having such cell connectors (15) are distinguished as being convenient for assembly and functionally reliable in that at least one mounting plate (16), which can be latched on the battery pack (11) in a mounting frame (17), is fitted with cell connectors (15) which are electrically isolated from one another, on the basis of the geometric requirement of cell poles (13) to be interconnected to one another, which cell connectors (15) each have flexible brackets (19) for their apex areas (23) to make elastic contact with the end surfaces (26) of cell poles (13). The brackets (19), which are supported by one flank in the form of a flexible spring on the mounting plate (16), are part of a stamped grid, which also comprises conductor tracks (32) which are integrally connected thereto, for example for connection of a battery management means.
