  • Publication number: 20130309545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for pressing a cooler against a battery, said cooler having at least one cooling surface for absorbing or dissipating thermal energy, and the battery having at least one contact surface for the cooling surface of the cooler to rest on. The device comprises a pressure part having at least one spring-elastic pressure element for transmitting a contact pressure onto a section of the surface of the cooler facing away from the battery. The device further comprises at least one suspension unit for suspending the pressure part on the battery, said suspension unit being designed such as to generate a suspension force which is counter to the contact force when the cooler is arranged on the battery and the suspension unit is suspended on the battery.
