  • Publication number: 20210316619
    Abstract: A battery may include a housing having two longitudinal walls aligned transversely to a width direction and at least two transverse walls aligned transversely to a longitudinal direction, the housing being delimited towards the outside by the longitudinal and transvers walls. The battery may also include at least one battery stack of multiple individual cells stacked against one another in a stack direction, the battery stack being received in the housing between the longitudinal walls and the transverse walls following one another in the longitudinal direction. The battery may further include at least one cooler through which a cooling liquid is flowable and which on an outside heat-transferringly lies against a cooled one of the longitudinal walls. Each battery stack may be heat-insulated from the cooled longitudinal wall and may heat-transferringly lie against the transverse walls adjacent to the respective battery stack.

  • Patent number: 11088399
    Abstract: The invention relates to a current sensor comprising an electric conductor (10), through which a first current (I) can flow parallel to a first direction (R1) and which comprises three regions (21, 22, 23) immediately following on from each other in the first direction (R1). A middle region (22) of the three regions (21, 22, 23) comprises a conductor cross-sectional area that is smaller than a conductor cross-sectional area of each of the two outer regions (21, 23) of the three regions (21, 22, 23). A voltage sensor of the current sensor is designed to measure a first voltage between the two terminals (41, 42) thereof. The first voltage is the same as a voltage applied to a measuring region (22, 25) at least partially coinciding with the middle region (22).
