  • Patent number: 9837647
    Abstract: A battery module (19) having a number of electrically interconnected battery cells (10), wherein the individual battery cells (10) are temperature-controlled by means of a temperature control fluid (70). Between the battery cells (10), there extends a duct system (30, 62, 66, 68) through which the temperature control fluid (70) flows. The duct system (30, 62, 66, 68) is separated completely from a degassing system (16, 54) of the battery cells (10).

  • Publication number: 20170187014
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (5; 10, 20, 30) for a plurality of battery cells (40). The housing (5; 10, 20, 30) comprises three main components (10, 20, 30). A first main component is formed by a container (10) for receiving a plurality of battery cells (40), a second main component is formed by a support (20) for electric and/or electronic components (22), and a third main component is formed by a cover (30). According to the invention, the electric and/or electronic components (22) are additionally arranged at least partly on a circuit board (24). The invention further relates to a battery cell module (50), to a motor vehicle with a battery cell module (50), and to a method for producing a battery cell module.

  • Publication number: 20150030898
    Abstract: A method and a device for identifying an increase in temperature in a plurality of electrochemical storage cells. An electrical characteristic value of a series connection of PTC elements that are thermally coupled in each case to a storage cell is determined and an increase in temperature of a plurality of electrical storage cells is identified if a value that is obtained as a result of evaluating the electrical characteristic value achieves a predefined threshold value.
