Abstract

A casing for a battery of cylindrical electric cells lying parallel to one another includes two insulating half casings each formed by one or more modules (2) having n or n+1 recesses in the form of part cylindrical cavities. The modules have two end edges and have respective complementary interfitting portions (24, 25) enabling two modules to be connected end-to-end. Each module further has two base plates (26, 27) orthogonal to the axes of said part cylindrical cavities and having complementary fixing parts (28, 29). A casing having any number of cell-receiving recesses greater than one can be assembled from modules having n and n+1 part cylindrical cavities, where n is equal to 2.
