Abstract
A battery module stores electrical energy. The battery module includes one or more battery cells disposed between two compression plates so as to be next to one another along a transverse axis of the battery module. The battery module is configured such that a spacing between the two compression plates is variable within a spacing range so that a variation in a spatial extent of the one or more battery cells exists along the transverse axis. The two compression plates apply a compressive force to the one or more battery cells within the entire spacing range.
