  • Patent number: 11784366
    Abstract: A battery module with a battery cell stack which is formed from a plurality of battery cells, with deformable foam plates which are arranged between in each case adjacent battery cells for the compensation of deformations of the battery cells during their charging and discharging or on account of their aging. A cooling medium is conducted between respective adjacent battery cells in order to cool the battery cells. The cooling medium is a cooling liquid which makes direct contact with the battery cells. A cooling structure for conducting the cooling liquid to the battery cell and along the latter is arranged between the respective battery cell and the foam plate which faces it. The foam plate makes contact with the cooling structure, and the cooling structure making contact with the battery cell.

  • Publication number: 20220407140
    Abstract: A battery for a motor vehicle has a battery housing including at least one busbar and at least two battery cells arranged in the housing and held by a holder. The busbar electrically conductively connects connection points of at least two of the battery cells. In order to achieve an increased power, heat-conducting paths for cooling are provided by virtue of the busbar and/or the holder being thermally conductively connected to the battery housing by a thermal adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20220029234
    Abstract: A battery for a motor vehicle includes a plurality of battery cells and a housing. The battery cells are arranged within the housing and designed for storing energy and discharging electrical energy. The housing includes at least a first housing element and a second housing element. The first housing element and the second housing element are fixedly connected to each other. The first housing element and the second housing element each include a base surface and two lateral surfaces. The base surface is arranged between the lateral surfaces. A first distance by which the lateral surfaces extends away from the base surface is greater than a second distance by which the lateral surfaces are spaced apart from each other. The base surface and the lateral surfaces of the first housing element have the same dimensions as the base surface and the lateral surfaces of the second housing element.
