Abstract: A battery module for a traction battery of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The battery module includes at least one heat baffle arranged between two cells of the battery module. A central region of the heat conducting plate is arranged extending in a space between the cells and along a main extension plane of the heat conducting plate. An end region of the heat conducting plate is arranged outside the space and is oriented transversely to the main extension plane and forms a deformable heat transfer surface of the battery module. The end portion is oriented at an acute angle to a reference plane of the heat transfer surface perpendicular to the main extension plane.

Abstract: A battery module for a traction battery of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The battery module includes a heat transfer surface for tempering cells of the battery module and at least one cavity disposed between partial surfaces of the heat transfer surface for receiving excess heat conductive material.

Abstract: A battery module for a traction battery of an electric vehicle is described. The battery module has two side parts arranged on opposite sides of the battery module and aligned substantially parallel to an electrode surface of cells of the battery module. At least one of the side parts has an elastic region offset from a main extension plane of the side part. The elastic region is adapted to exert a pressing force perpendicular to the electrode surface on the cells.
