Abstract
This invention relates to a battery container which can be fastened in a sealing and detachable manner directly in the supporting floor structure of a body of a vehicle. The battery container is formed of a material, particularly sheet metal, which is ductile also at low freezing temperatures, and is dimensioned such in its wall thickness that, in the case of a crash, although it rips in a defined manner, it does not tear so far that individual cells can fall out of the battery container. In the battery container, the flat sides of inserted cells are spaced with respect to one another by spacers, whereby this clearance becomes available as a bypass duct, strips being arranged in the bypass ducts which project away from the spacer.
