Abstract
A cell module for an electrical energy storage device of a motor vehicle includes at least one cell structure made up of energy storage cells, a metallic cell module frame, enclosing the at least one cell structure, for clamping the energy storage cells, and a measuring device for detecting a deformation of the cell module frame related to cell expansion. The measuring device includes a passive resistive extension sensor having a deformation-dependent electrical resistance and a measuring unit connected to the extension sensor to output an electrical measurement signal characterizing the deformation-dependent electrical resistance of the extension sensor. The extension sensor is formed by the metallic cell module frame, with which the measuring unit is electrically contacted.
