In this device for controlling the temperature of a battery of cylindrically-shaped electrochemical cells placed side by side, heat is conveyed by the flow of a heat-conveying fluid, which flow takes place inside a double wall whose section is in the form of circular arcs interconnected at their ends so that the junction points between the arcs are substantially in alignment. Relief is disposed in a baffle configuration inside the double wall to constrain the fluid to flow parallel to said section, alternately in one direction and then in the opposite direction. The wall is disposed against the battery in such a manner that each of the circular arcs is disposed coaxially against one of the cells.

Device for controlling the temperature of a battery of electrochemical

The present invention provides a sealed electrochemical cell comprising a container containing a spiral-wound electrochemical group and at least one safety device for the event of a rise in internal pressure, wherein said safety device comprises gas vent first means allowing gas to escape to the outside of said container in the event of internal pressure rising, co-operating with holding second means for holding said group inside said container and organized so as to create a gap between said group and the inner wall of said container to allow said gas to flow.
