Abstract
A method for producing a battery housing produces intermediate products, including a lower and upper half-shell, for connecting these intermediate products with one another at the facility of a battery manufacturer. The battery is set into the lower half-shell, the upper half-shell is set on, the inner wall of the lower half-shell is welded to the inner wall of the upper half-shell, and the outer wall of the lower half-shell is welded to the outer wall of the upper half-shell, with a supported vacuum insulation interposed between the inner and outer walls of the lower and upper half-shell, respectively, to form a reversibly closed battery housing with integrated thermal management for a battery. An assembly kit may be delivered to a battery manufacturer for non-problematical production of a battery housing at the facility of the battery manufacturer to eliminate transport of the battery to the battery housing manufacturer.
