Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cell block for a battery and a method for assembling a cell bock having one or more battery cells. In one implementation, the cell block includes a box-shaped housing, which is open on one side and into which the battery cells are fitted through the open side, and a cell fixation, which is pushed through the open side into the housing, such that the battery cells are fixed in the housing and the housing is at least partially closed. The cell fixation may further include one or more bond openings, through which the battery cells may be accessed after the cell fixation has been pushed in, and a projecting collar on the side of the cell fixation facing away from the battery cells, such that the collar may be brought into contact with an end plate.

Abstract: A battery housing and a method for installing a battery are disclosed. In one embodiment, a battery housing for receiving a battery includes four plate-shaped side panels. Two of the side panel are opposite to each other, and each of the two opposite side panels have at least one elongated recess. The battery housing includes two cover plates. The four plate-shaped side panels and the two cover plates are connected to each other to form a box-shaped housing. The side panels are configured to connect together to hold the battery without the cover plates.

Abstract: A battery housing (10) for receiving a battery and a method of installing a battery, where the battery housing has four plate-shaped side panels (11a-11d) and two cover plates (12a, 12b), which may be connected with one another to form a box-shaped housing, whereby at least two opposite side panels (11a, 11c) each have at least one elongated recess (13a, 13c) inside, into which a functional battery plate (30) may be inserted, and the side panels (11a-11d) are connected with one another, such that they hold the whole battery without installed cover plates (12a, 12b).

Abstract: A cell block (60) for a battery (1) and a method for assembling a cell block (60) having one or more battery cells (70), said cell block (60) having a box-shaped housing (61), which is open on one side, into which, the battery cells (70) are fitted through the open side, and a cell fixation (80) is pushed through the open side into the housing (61), such that the battery cells (70) are fixed in the housing (61) and the housing (61) is at least partially closed, whereby the cell fixation (80) has one or more bond openings (82) through which, the battery cells (70) may be accessed after the cell fixation (80) has been pushed in, and a projecting collar (81) is provided at least partially around a bond opening (82) on the side of the cell fixation (80) facing away from the battery cells (70), whereby the collar (81) may be brought into contact with an end plate (105).

Abstract: A test fixture for testing a plurality of longitudinal battery cells includes: a base plate; a plurality of holding structures for holding the battery cells, the holding structures being mounted on the base plate and configured to hold the battery cells with their longitudinal axes being perpendicular with respect to the base plate; and a plurality of contacts arranged on the base plate to electrically contact positive and negative terminals of each of the battery cells.

Abstract: In a control system for motor vehicles having a plurality of functional subsystems, such as a passenger compartment controller, a telematics system, a drive controller and a chassis controller, each functional subsystem has a plurality of control devices, and a central databus. Control devices of different subsystems are combined, in accordance with their spatial arrangement in the vehicle, to form local modules and are connected to one another by means of a module bus. Each module bus is connected to the central databus by means of a module interface.
