Abstract

The invention relates to a battery (2) for an electrically driven motor vehicle. Said battery comprises a battery housing (4) having a housing base (6) and a housing cover (8), and a battery cell (10) arranged in the battery housing (4), wherein the battery cell (10) is connected by means of a first hook-and-loop connection (12) to the housing base (8) and / or by means of a second hook-and-loop connection (14) to the housing cover (8), and wherein a thermally conductive colloid, a thermally conductive gel (24) and / or a heat-conductive paste is introduced between hook-and-loop units (16) of the first hook-and-loop connection (12) and / or between hook-and-loop units (16) of the second hook-and-loop connection (14). The invention relates, furthermore, to an electrically driven motor vehicle having a battery (2) of this type.
