Abstract
A device has a plurality of battery cells (2) arranged parallel to one another with respect to a joining axis (1) and a contact plate (3) arranged between the battery cells (2) and having a plurality of recesses (4) for circumferentially enclosing the battery cells (2). The battery cells (2) of a battery module can be connected in parallel in groups, irrespective of serial contacting at the cell end sections, and the contact plate (3) has a plurality of contact plate legs (6), which enclose the battery cells (2) with a circumferential section (7) removed and are connected to one another at intersection points (5), for a respective circumferential section (7) of the battery cells (2).
