Abstract
The invention relates to a battery, comprising at least one battery cell connecting element (20), which is conductively connected to (a) a connector (28) having a cuboid-like base shape for connecting the same to at least one pole flange on a base (32) of the connector (28), and (b) a welded bracket (30), which is conductively connected to the connector (28), (c) wherein in the installed position of the battery (10) the connector (28) is disposed substantially horizontally, and the welded bracket (30) is disposed substantially vertically, and (d) wherein the connector (28) has a top (34) positioned opposite the base (32) and (c) at least one longitudinal side (36) adjoining the base (32), the welded bracket (30) being connected to the connector (28) on said side. The invention provides that the welded bracket (30) is electrically connected to the connector (28) via at least one contact element (44.1, 44.2) laterally disposed on the welded bracket (30) and leading onto the surface of the connector (28).
