Abstract:
1. A battery, comprising: a plurality of individual cells that are connected in parallel or in series with one another by cell connectors, each of the plurality of individual cells having pole contacts and a cell housing; a cooling apparatus for temperature control of the battery, wherein the cooling apparatus is a heat-conducting plate in physical and heat-conducting contact with each of the individual cells, wherein the pole contacts pass through bores or incisions in the heat-conducting plate, wherein the heat-conducting plate is interposed between the cell connectors and the cell housings of each of the individual cells, wherein the individual cells are attached to the cooling apparatus such that they are prestressed using the cell connectors, wherein each of the cell connectors includes an upper portion that engages with one of the pole contacts of one of the plurality of individual cells and a lower portion that presses against a top portion of the heat-conducting plate so that a bottom portion of the heat-conducting plate presses against a top portion of the individual cells, wherein the lower portion of the cell connectors has an omega-shaped longitudinal section.
