Abstract

The invention relates to a receptacle (34) for at least partially compressively receiving at least one battery cell (12) for a battery module, wherein the receptacle (34) has at least two end plates (10) which can be arranged on two opposing sides of the at least one battery cell (12), wherein the end plates (10) are connected to one another by a plurality of connecting means (24), which are fixed to the end plates (10) and in each case have at least two plug elements (28), in such a way that the plug elements (28) of the connecting means (24) for fixing the connecting means (24) to the end plates (10) engage in bushings (22) of the end plates (10) in a plane arranged substantially at right angles to the direction of extension of the connecting means (24). In summary, a receptacle (34) of the type described above allows battery cells (12) in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner to be fixed in a battery module and allows the performance of a battery module to be maintained, irrespective of the temperature, by at least temporary bracing.
