Abstract: A method for assembling a traction battery for an electrically operated vehicle, in which at least one battery module is inserted into a battery housing in a module setting process, with the formation of an air gap between the battery module and a housing base of the battery housing, which is filled with a highly viscous thermal paste, which builds up a viscosity force due to internal friction when it is distributed in the air gap, which acts on the housing base until the thermal paste is distributed in the air gap by the flow of material and the accompanying reduction in the viscosity force. The housing base is supported on its housing base lower side by a counter holder in order to limit a deflection of the housing base due to the viscosity force of the thermal paste.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a module housing for accommodating a cell stack having multiple individual battery cells for a high-voltage battery of a motor vehicle, wherein the module housing has at least one first side wall confining the cell stack in its longitudinal direction z when said cell stack is accommodated in the module housing. Herein, the at least one first side wall has a passage opening extending from a top to a bottom of the first side wall, in which a mixing element is arranged to mix a gap filler or, in general, a heat transfer medium and to convey the same underneath the battery module formed by the cell stack.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for introducing a heat-conducting medium between a battery module and a cooling base, wherein the battery module is positioned in relation to the cooling base such that a lower side of the battery module faces toward the cooling base and an upper side of the battery module faces away from the cooling base.
