Abstract

A battery module with a plurality of battery cells is disclosed, comprising a first temperature control member and second temperature control member, which are connected together directly thermally conductively in places, wherein the plurality of battery cells is connected directly thermally conductively with the second temperature control member and at least one switchably configured Peltier element connected thermally conductively with the first temperature control member and the second temperature control member is arranged between the first temperature control member and the second temperature control member, wherein a control device is configured to drive the at least one Peltier element in such a way that, when switched on, the at least one Peltier element transfers heat from the second temperature control member to the first temperature control member or heat from the first temperature control member to the second temperature control member.
