  • Prismatic battery made of multiple individual cells
    Patent number: 7572549
    Abstract: A prismatic battery including multiple individual cells, at least two of which are combined to form a prismatic module. At least two of the modules, in turn, are stacked to form the battery and joined together under tension between two end plates. The prismatic battery also has at least one cooling member which is in heat-conducting contact with at least one of the modules. This cooling member has at least one cooling fin which is provided parallel to the direction of the tensioning force.
    Type: Grant

  • Battery comprising at least one electrochemical storage cell and a cooling device
    Patent number: 7531269
    Abstract: A battery has at least one electrochemical storage cell and a cooling device. The at least one electrochemical storage cell is placed between parts of the cooling device. The cooling device is flown through by a liquid cooling medium. According to the invention, each electrochemical storage cell is accommodated inside an opening of the cooling device and is, at least in part, in non-positive contact with the cooling device each time via at least one outside surface that is curved in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the electrochemical storage cell. The cooling device comprises at least one expansion joint in the areas of non-positive contact.
