Abstract
A Battery container is provided for a plurality of cylindrical accumulator elements which are arranged parallel to one another in rows and/or layers essentially horizontally. At least one first fixing element is arranged on a bottom plate and a cover plate of the battery container. The fixing elements extend transversely to the longitudinal axes of the accumulator elements and, with a form-locking action, fix and support the accumulator elements in the horizontal and the vertical direction. In the case of a layer-type arrangement of the accumulator elements, additional fixing elements are provided which are arranged between two layers of accumulator elements respectively and which also extend transversely to the longitudinal axes of the accumulator elements and, while acting upon the accumulator elements in a form-locking manner, fix and support the accumulator elements in the horizontal and vertical direction.
