Abstract

A battery unit for hybrid or electric vehicles comprising a cell module including a plurality of storage cells, each accommodated in a prismatic cell casing with two large surfaces arranged parallel to each other and four narrow side surfaces. The prismatic cell casings with their parallel arranged large surfaces are stacked adjacent to each other. One of the narrow side surfaces, the cell casing bottom of each storage cell. A cooling device comprising a plate-shaped cooling body with one or several recesses, and one or several fastening mechanisms integrated into the cell module bottom that agree with a corresponding number of recesses of the cooling body, are configured to couple the cooling body to the cell module.
