Claim 5:
6. A battery carrier for supporting one or more electric battery modules for an electrically operable vehicle, comprising:
a support tray formed from a double-walled material blank, wherein the support tray comprises a double-walled tray base configured to support the one or more electric battery modules and double-walled or single-walled sidewalls that delimit the double-walled tray base at opposing sides of the double-walled tray base; and
a heat exchanger structure with hollow channels formed in the double-walled tray base that are configured to allow a fluid to pass through to regulate a temperature of the one or more electric battery modules,
wherein the hollow channels of the heat exchanger structure are of serpentine form and have hollow channel sections that are fluidically branched in parallel and then join together, and wherein the double-walled material blank is a blank that is assembled using laser welding, soldering, or roller seam welding,
wherein one wall of the double-walled material blank which faces an interior of the support tray is thicker than a wall of the double-walled material blank which faces away from the interior of the support tray,
wherein the double-walled tray base provides a flat surface for the mounting of a battery module, and
wherein the double-walled or single-walled sidewalls have an angled flange in each case, which serves for the fastening of a cover on the support tray.
