Abstract
A battery unit for a motor vehicle, especially an electric-powered or hybrid-powered motor vehicle, includes at least one row of a plurality of separate but linked battery cells. Each cell has parallel, opposing main limit walls. The main limit walls of neighboring battery cells bear substantially flatly one against the other and overlap one another in a sloping position on the support. A fixed deflection ramp is arranged in the vehicle to be able to deflect battery cells upward relative to a horizontal plane or forward or sideways, but out of the row of the battery cells.
