Abstract
A battery system includes: a plurality of battery cells, each of the battery cells having a venting side including a venting exit configured to allow venting products to exit the battery cells during a thermal runaway and a cooling side opposite the venting side; a cooling plate, the cooling side of the battery cells being in thermal connection with a first side of the cooling plate; and a battery housing enclosing the battery cells in a cell chamber. A guiding channel is formed between a second side of the cooling plate opposite the first side and a channel wall of the battery housing facing the second side of the cooling plate, and a passage fluidly connects the cell chamber and the guiding channel. Thus, when the venting products are emitted by the battery cells from the venting side into the cell chamber, the venting products are directed along a venting path from the cell chamber through the passage into the guiding channel and through the guiding channel to an environment of the battery system via a system exit.
