Abstract
The present invention relates to an energy storage module (10) able to contain a plurality of energy storage elements (14), the module comprising an envelope (16) comprising at least one plurality of lateral walls and two end walls (18A, 18B) dimensioned so as to surround the energy storage elements, at least one member for placing in contact (22) made at least partially from a thermally conducting material, intended to be placed between at least one energy storage element and a lateral wall of the module, termed the reference wall (20A), said member comprising a first contact face (24A) and a second contact face (30A) which are associated respectively with the reference wall (20A) and said energy storage element or elements (14), one at least of said first (24A) and second (30A) contact faces being adapted to abut against one of the reference wall (20A) or of said element or elements (14), and said member being configured so that the distance between the first and second contact faces can vary. The invention also relates to a method of assembling a module.
