Abstract: A battery arrangement, which includes a thermal protection device, a housing component, and a battery module having multiple battery cells, each of which has a releasable cell degassing opening. The battery module has a module side which is opposite the housing component with respect to a first direction, and which has a contiguous degassing subregion in which all cell degassing openings are arranged. Between the housing component and the degassing subregion there is a gap subregion having passage areas, which are each arranged directly below a respective, assigned cell degassing opening with respect to the first direction. The thermal protection device is arranged in the gap subregion and is formed using a thermally expandable material in such a way that it expands when a predetermined limiting temperature is exceeded.

Abstract: A method for supporting a battery housing when a battery module is inserted. A support device includes a support for supporting the battery housing. Here, the support has several mutually movable pin elements for setting down the battery housing. A negative shape corresponding to a shape of a base bottom side of a housing base of the battery housing by the pin elements is set on the basis of a selective displacement of the support along a predetermined translational direction of movement in that each pin element is displaced from a respective starting position to a respective end position when it reaches the base bottom side and locked at the respective end position by a locking unit. After the negative shape has been set, the support is displaced by a defined offset distance opposite to the direction of movement.

Abstract: A battery arrangement having a housing base arrangement and at least one battery unit which is arranged on the housing base arrangement and is arranged above the housing base arrangement with respect to a first direction and which comprises at least one battery cell. The at least one battery cell has a first side having a releasable degassing opening which is releasable for discharging a gas from the at least one battery cell. The housing base arrangement has at least one predetermined breaking point, which is designed, in dependence on a gas escape of a gas from the degassing opening of the at least one battery cell, to release an opening penetrating the housing base arrangement with respect to the first direction, in order to discharge the gas escaping from the degassing opening of the at least one battery cell through the released opening.
