Abstract

An accumulator arrangement for a hybrid or electric vehicle may include a plurality of battery cells stacked in a stacking direction to form at least one battery block, and a housing including a support frame limiting the housing towards an outside on four sides. The support frame may include at least two longitudinal members and at least two cross members perpendicularly aligned with one another. At least one longitudinal member of the at least two longitudinal members may be configured to conduct a coolant. The at least one battery block may abut against at least one of (i) the at least one longitudinal member and (ii) at least one of the at least two cross members to transfer heat. A plurality of connection points of the at least one longitudinal member, through which the coolant is flowable, may be configured on an outside of the support frame.
