Abstract

An accumulator comprises at least one galvanic cell and a receiving device for supporting the galvanic cell(s) of the accumulator. The receiving device comprises at least one protecting wall for receiving energy by means of elastic and/or plastic deformation. The protecting wall encases the at least one galvanic cell at least partially and has a thickness which is at least partially less than about 1/10 of the characteristic edge length of the at least one galvanic cell.
