Claim 0:
1. An energy storage device for a motor vehicle, the energy storage device comprising:
a plurality of round cells for electrochemically storing energy; and
a storage housing, in which the plurality of round cells is provided, wherein:
in an installed position, the round cells run substantially parallel to a vehicle transverse axis;
the round cells are arranged within the storage housing in multiple layers in a direction of a vehicle vertical axis;
a number of the layers varies in a direction of a vehicle longitudinal axis,
the storage housing has a top side,
a housing contour of the top side is adapted to a lower internal contour of a passenger cabin of the motor vehicle, and
a total height of the multiple layers is varied to adapt to the housing contour by virtue of immediately adjacent round cells of a first layer of the multiple layers being spaced further apart from one another in a first region of the layer in the direction of the vehicle longitudinal axis than immediately adjacent round cells in a second region of the first layer.
