Abstract

The disclosure relates to a battery module having at least one battery cell, wherein the battery cell includes a cell housing, which includes a lower side and an upper side opposite to the lower side in a first direction, wherein an opening releasable in the event of an overpressure in the battery cell is arranged in the upper side. In this case, the battery module includes an atomizing device, which is arranged in the first direction above the releasable opening of the at least one battery cell, and which comprises at least one flame passage opening, through which flames escaping from the releasable opening of the battery cell can penetrate, and which comprises a passage area which is smaller than an area of the releasable opening.
