  • Patent number: 11575165
    Abstract: An electrical energy storage unit for a motor vehicle, having at least one storage unit cell designed to store electrical energy, which storage unit cell has a cell housing in which an electrolyte and an electrode device are arranged, and having a temperature control device that has at least one temperature control channel arranged outside the cell housing, which temperature control channel is able to be flowed through by a temperature control fluid in order to control the temperature of the storage unit cell. At least one heating device is able to be supplied with the electrical energy stored in the storage unit cell and thereby able to be electrically operated. By way of the heating device, the storage unit cell is able to be heated, wherein the heating device is able to be operated without any damage only when the storage unit cell has a state of charge that is not more than 60% of the maximum state of charge of the storage unit cell.

  • Publication number: 20200203786
    Abstract: An accumulator arrangement may include a plurality of battery cells respectively having a plurality of bearing surfaces. The plurality of battery cells may be stacked in a stacking direction to form at least one battery block. The arrangement may further include at least one cooling device that may include a plurality of cooling elements through which a cooling fluid is flowable. A respective cooling element may be arranged between and abut against adjacent battery cells and clamped thereto. The at least one cooling device may further include at least one fluid guide tube having at least one fluid guide duct through which the cooling fluid is flowable. The at least one fluid guide tube may include at least one deformable adaptation area that may, via deformation, compensate at least one of an expansion and a compression of the at least one battery block in the stacking direction.
