  • Publication number: 20170187014
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (5; 10, 20, 30) for a plurality of battery cells (40). The housing (5; 10, 20, 30) comprises three main components (10, 20, 30). A first main component is formed by a container (10) for receiving a plurality of battery cells (40), a second main component is formed by a support (20) for electric and/or electronic components (22), and a third main component is formed by a cover (30). According to the invention, the electric and/or electronic components (22) are additionally arranged at least partly on a circuit board (24). The invention further relates to a battery cell module (50), to a motor vehicle with a battery cell module (50), and to a method for producing a battery cell module.
