Abstract
A battery having a plurality of voltage-generating cells which are arranged in particular adjacent to one another. The battery has a plurality of fastening/bearing points which are spaced apart from one another and on which the battery is fastened or bears. At least a first portion of the cells have a first mass, and optionally further include parts of the battery with an additional mass, and which come to rest between the fastening/bearing points. The first portion of the cells absorbs at least a substantial part of the bending/shear load arising in the battery between the fastening/bearing points. In addition, an I-shaped or H-shaped intermediate element is arranged between at least two voltage-generating cells.
