Claim:
1. A device for contacting one or more electrical energy storage cells of an energy store, each storage cells including a pair of poles for connection to a printed circuit board, comprising: an electrically and thermally conductive contact element provided on the contact surfaces of each of said pair poles of each of the one or more electrical energy storage cells, one or more printed circuit boards connected to each of said pair of poles of each of the one or more electrical energy storage cells and provided to separate an electrical current, flowing from the respective energy storage cell via the contact element, from a heat flow received via the contact element, wherein the contact element is elastically deformable from a change in a longitudinal extension in a direction perpendicular to the contact surfaces of the poles, wherein the contact element for each pole is a flat contact element including an elastic material between the respective pole of the electrical energy storage cell and the one or more printed circuit boards, and further wherein the elastic material is an elastic contacting material which includes a mixture of elastomer and metal particles configured to electrically and thermally connect two electrical conductors consisting of different materials without these electrical conductors touching, wherein the contact surface of the pole is completely or partially protected against being contacted by moisture.
