Abstract
A battery housing for an electric vehicle comprises a first housing part and a second housing part. The first housing part has a trough-type structure for receiving one or more battery modules. The second housing part is designed as a cover part for closing the first housing part. The housing parts have peripheral assembly flanges and are connected to one another on their assembly flanges by multiple fasteners extending through the assembly flanges. The assembly flange of at least one housing part carries multiple spacing elements arranged spaced apart from one another, each having a spacer arranged on the side of the assembly flange carrying the spacing element facing the assembly flange of the other housing part, wherein the spacer only covers a part of the total width of the assembly flange. A peripheral seal is located between and adhesively connected to the two assembly flanges. Here, the spacing elements each have at least one arm guided around the lateral edge of the assembly flange carrying the spacing element, and reaching to the opposite side, and supported on the opposite side of the assembly flange.
