Abstract
A battery module includes a row of battery cells arranged parallel to each other, aligned along a longitudinal axis, and arranged at a distance from each other so that adjacent battery cells define a gap allowing a temperature control fluid to pass therethrough. A holding device includes a main body, a plurality of spacers and retaining means. Each spacer includes a mounting foot and a separator plate integrally formed with the mounting foot. The separator plate is arranged in the gap and configured to separate a first pass and a second pass of the temperature control fluid. The mounting feet are slidably mounted parallel to the longitudinal axis, defining a sliding connection. The retaining means includes axial clamping means which axially compresses an axial stop of the retaining means against a battery cell located at an axial end of the row of battery cells.
