Abstract

A rechargeable battery arrangement for an electric or hybrid vehicle may include a plurality of battery modules and a module connector arrangement electrically contact-connecting adjacent battery modules when in a switching position and electrically separating the adjacent battery modules when in a basic position. The module connector arrangement may include a plurality of module connectors each secured to a respective battery module and including a positive pole contact element and a negative pole contact element. Each respective module connector may be secured to a respective battery module and may include a guide device. The guide device may include an actuating. At least one of a positive pole contact element and a negative pole contact element of a battery module is electrically interconnectable to at least one of the positive pole contact element and the negative pole contact element of an adjacent battery module when the actuating element is actuated.
