  • Patent number: 10424766
    Abstract: A battery housing including at least one interior space for accommodating at least one battery, and including at least one contact element which, in a connection position, establishes a connection to a counter-contact element, the connection passing through the battery housing out of the interior space and/or into the interior space, the connection being cut off in an out-of-contact position with the counter-contact element, the counter-contact element being situated on an insulation component movable relative to the battery housing, which is movable from a first position, in which the counter-contact element and the contact element are in the connection position, into a second position, in which the counter-contact element and the contact element are in the out-of-contact position, the contact element being thermally insulated in the out-of-contact position by the insulation component.

  • Publication number: 20160293927
    Abstract: A battery cell for a battery is arranged in a housing. The battery cell includes a coil having a first connection and a second connection. The battery cell further includes a contact element between the second connection of the coil and the housing. The contact element is an electrical and a thermal conductor or an electrical insulator and a thermal conductor for connecting the coil to the housing. The contact element has a cross section which is greater than a cross section of the first connection and/or which is configured to conduct a flow of heat, which is dependent on an energy store density of the coil, in a predetermined time from the coil, via the contact element, to the housing. The second connection is electrically insulated from the first connection.
