Abstract

The invention relates to a heat exchanger for a battery unit, comprising coolant-conducting tubes which end at both sides in in each case one collector, wherein each collector is connected to at least one tube and a potential equalization element for electrical potential equalization connects at least one collector to a housing of the battery. To produce potential equalization between the heat exchanger and a battery housing in as inexpensive a manner as possible, the potential equalization element and the collector are formed in one piece.
