Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (1) for receiving at least one flat electrochemical cell (2), comprising two housing side walls (4) which are disposed substantially parallel to one another, wherein a flat cooling bracket (9) is disposed on at least one flat electrochemical cell (2). The flat cooling bracket (9) is preferably disposed substantially parallel to the flat electrochemical cell (2). The flat electrochemical cell (2) may also have a sealing seam (3) extending at least in some regions on the edge of said cell and, for each flat electrochemical cell (2) to be received, the housing side walls (4) disposed parallel to one another comprise, in the inner faces thereof that are facing one another, a pair of opposite notches (5) configured to receive the at least one sealing seam (3) of the respective flat electrochemical cell (2).

Abstract: A housing (1) for accommodating at least one flat electrochemical cell (2), which has a seal seam (3) extending at least regionally along the edge of said cell, comprises two housing side walls (4) which are arranged substantially parallel to one another and which are provided, in the mutually opposite inner surfaces thereof, with a pair of incisions (5) situated opposite one another for each cell (2) that is to be accommodated, said incisions being designed to accommodate the at least one seal seam (3) of the particular cell (2). The housing (1) here is preferably formed of a foam material.
