Abstract

The invention relates to a battery box having a plurality of orientation-independent electrochemical cells. Within the battery box, the cells are arranged horizontally, cells which are located one above the other being combined to form a cell group having flow channels arranged between adjacent cells. The flow channels of a cell group are connected via a transverse inlet flow channel to a distributor channel and via a transverse outlet flow channel to a collecting channel, the collecting channel being arranged with respect to the battery box on the side opposite the distributor channel.
