Abstract

A coupling between a replaceable battery and a vehicle in order to produce an electrical contact between the battery and a vehicle electrical system. The coupling includes at least one vehicle-side coupling part and at least one battery-side coupling part, each coupling part having at least one electrical contact site. The contact sites of the coupling parts that are separate from each other until the battery is mechanically fastened to the vehicle can be brought into mutual contact after the battery has been mechanically fastened to the vehicle.
