Abstract: A battery arrangement comprising a large number or plurality of energy storage cells, wherein the energy storage cells have connection poles to which cell connectors are fastened, in particular welded, for interconnecting the energy storage cells. The energy storage cells are connected to a contact-making system which is formed by a printed circuit board having a covering layer on both sides, wherein the printed circuit board is arranged between the connection poles and the cell connectors in such a way that the fastening points, in particular the welding points, by way of which the cell connectors are indirectly connected to the connection poles via the printed circuit board are protected against external influences by the covering layers.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an automotive mirror, in particular a side mirror, includes forming a printed circuit board as flexible printed circuit board with n+1 branches, n?N, providing n modules each including at least one electronic element housed within a plastic casting and connected to conducting paths on at least one of the surfaces of the plastic casting, and at least one standard gripping point, guiding structure, snap connection element and/or sealing member provided by the plastic casting, connecting up to n of said branches to one module each and connecting one branch to cables or a cable harness to be connected to a power supply and/or a control unit outside the mirror, providing mirror parts free of electronic elements, and assembling the mirror parts and the modules.
