A motor vehicle battery has a plurality of battery modules (). Each battery module () is fastened to housing walls () of a battery housing (). The battery housing () has at least two housing modules () positioned above one another and formed with housing module walls (). At least some of the mutually adjoining housing module walls () interengage in the manner of toothing to form the housing walls ().

Sheet stacks (4) removed from a collecting station (1) by a transport gripper (5) are deposited onto a vertically movable depositing table (6) so as to rest against stops (8, 10). The stops (8, 10), which are attached to stationary, horizontally movable pull-out rails (11), have first and second vertical surfaces (8a and 8b) which are interconnected by oblique surfaces (8c), the second surfaces (8b) being set back with respect to the first surfaces (8a). The upper surface of the deposited sheet stack (4) is kept at a functionally correct depositing level by two sensors (17, 18), of which one is associated with the center area and one with the staple area (12, 13). The deposited sheet stack (4) strikes against the first surfaces (8a) with its end face, and is then released by the transport gripper (5). Lowering the depositing table (6) causes the end face of the sheet stack (4) to enter the area of the set-back surfaces (8b), allowing it to rest without hindrance flat on the deposited stack (7). Raising the depositing table (6) causes the sheet stack (4) to be displaced laterally by the oblique surfaces (8c) of the stops (8, 10), and aligned flush with the deposited stack (7) by the first surface (8a).
