Abstract

A cell connector is provided by means of which an electrically conductive connection between a voltage tapping point and a voltage tapping line can be established, wherein the cell connector is for the connection of a first cell terminal of a first electro-chemical cell and a second cell terminal of a second electro-chemical cell and includes a voltage tapping point with a contact element for connection to a terminal element of a voltage tapping line and also a longitudinal axis and a peripheral wall extending about the longitudinal axis. The contact element includes a base material, which is at least partially pre-coated with a contacting material in an initial state, and reshaped from the initial state into a final state such that the proportion of the peripheral wall coated with the contacting material to the overall peripheral angular extent of the peripheral wall amounts to more than 50%.
