Abstract

The invention relates to a storage unit (1) for storing electrical energy. The storage unit (1) has at least one energy store (3, 5, 6, 7). According to the invention, the storage unit (1) also has a contact area for giving off heat to a heat sink (45). The storage unit (1) has at least one heat pipe (50), which is connected to the contact area and is connected to the energy store (3, 5, 6, 7) in such a way that heat dissipated inside the energy store (3, 5, 6, 7) can be carried away to the contact area via the heat pipe (50).
