Abstract: Disclosed herein are cell holders for holding a plurality of battery cells, each cell holder including a body, said body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of through openings, wherein each through opening extends between the upper surface and the lower surface and is arranged to receive a battery cell, wherein in each through opening a deformable member is protruding in the through opening in a direction which is perpendicular to the direction of extension of the through opening to thereby decrease the diameter of the through opening such that the diameter of the through opening in the plane in which the deformable member is protruding is smaller than the outer diameter of the battery cell.
