A holding apparatus () for current and signal conductors of a traction battery of a motor vehicle has a plate-like base body with longitudinal sides (), transverse ends () and a top () and bottom () extending between the longitudinal sides () and transverse ends (). Elements () are arranged on the top () and the bottom () for guiding and fixing current conductors () of the traction battery, and elements () are arranged on the other of the top () and the bottom () for guiding and fixing at least one signal conductor () of the traction battery. The base body provides EMC shielding of the signal conductor () from the current conductors (). The plate-like base body has on the opposite longitudinal sides () and/or on the opposite transverse sides () sections () for securing and grounding the holding apparatus on a frame of the motor vehicle.

Holding apparatus for current and signal conductors of a traction battery of a motor vehicle

A battery module includes a plurality of individual electrical cells which are arranged within a common housing, wherein an end side of the housing has mechanical connecting elements for connecting the battery module to a temperature-control element which is provided outside the battery module in order to thereby enable good heat transfer between the battery module and the temperature-control element. The mechanical connecting elements are provided as corresponding upper and lower cutouts in the end side of the housing, which upper and lower cutouts are connected to one another by a through-passage, for receiving a connector of which the head can be positioned in the one cutout. The connector can extend vertically along the through-passage and can be connected to a mating piece which can be positioned at least partially in the other cutout and is fixedly connected to the temperature-control element.

Battery module and battery

An underbody of an electrically driven motor vehicle, with a vehicle supporting structure, which is bounded laterally in a transverse direction of the vehicle by two vehicle sills between which a multiplicity of battery modules is arranged, which battery modules are assigned a battery supporting structure and at least one battery temperature control device, and with supply and removal devices for a temperature control medium. The supply and removal devices for the temperature control medium are arranged in the region of the vehicle sills.
