Abstract

A battery pack ( 50 ) comprising at least one battery module ( 10 ) with a plurality of battery cells ( 2 ) which are held together by at least one holding element ( 31, 32 ). The at least one battery module ( 10 ) is arranged in a housing ( 70 ), wherein the at least one holding element ( 31, 32 ) is attached to the housing ( 70 ) by fixing elements ( 41, 42, 43, 44 ).

Claims (8)

1. A battery pack ( 50 ) comprising at least one battery module ( 10 ) with a plurality of battery cells ( 2 ) which are held together by means of at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ) to form a grouped plurality of battery cells, characterized in that the at least one battery module ( 10 ) is arranged in a housing ( 70 ), wherein the at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ) is a strap that surrounds only an outer perimeter of the grouped plurality of battery cells ( 2 ) and is attached to the housing ( 70 ) by means of fixing elements ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ), wherein the fixing elements ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ) have mutually complementary coding with associated openings ( 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 ) in one of the housing ( 70 ) or the at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ) to prevent incorrect insertion of the battery module ( 10 ) in the housing ( 70 ).

2. The battery pack ( 50 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fixing elements ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ) are arranged on the at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ) and fixed to the housing ( 70 ) by means of screws.

3. The battery pack ( 50 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fixing elements ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ) are arranged on the housing ( 70 ) and fixed to the at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ) by means of screws.

4. The battery pack ( 50 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fixing elements ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ) are arranged on the at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ) and engage by form fit in the associated openings ( 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 ) in the housing ( 70 ).

5. The battery pack ( 50 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fixing elements ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ) are arranged on the housing ( 70 ) and engage by form fit in the associated openings ( 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 ) in the at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ).

6. The battery pack ( 50 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the housing ( 70 ) has a plurality of receiving spaces ( 80 ) for receiving battery modules ( 10 ), which are separated from each other by means of at least one partition wall ( 73 ).

7. The battery pack ( 50 ) according to claim 6 , characterized in that a plurality of battery modules ( 10 ) is provided, wherein mutually complementarily formed fixing elements ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ) are assigned to adjacent battery modules ( 10 ).

8. A vehicle comprising a battery pack ( 50 ) including at least one battery module ( 10 ) with a plurality of battery cells ( 2 ) which are held together by means of at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ) to form a grouped plurality of battery cells, characterized in that the at least one battery module ( 10 ) is arranged in a housing ( 70 ), wherein the at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ) is a strap that surrounds only an outer perimeter of the grouped plurality of battery cells ( 2 ) and is attached to the housing ( 70 ) by means of fixing elements ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ), wherein the fixing elements ( 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ) have mutually complementary coding with associated openings ( 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 ) in one of the housing ( 70 ) or the at least one holding element ( 31 , 32 ) to prevent incorrect insertion of the battery module ( 10 ) in the housing ( 70 ).
