Cell block (1) for a battery (2), comprising a plurality of electrochemical individual cells (3) electrically connected in series and / or parallel, which are designed as flat cells, are aligned parallel to each other and arranged one behind the other in the
cell block (1) and are clamped together by means of at least one clamping element (11), wherein an
intermediate cell holder (9) made of an electrically insulating material is arranged between each pair of adjacent individual cells (3), which has a partition (22) that runs between the respective two adjacent individual cells (3), and wherein a
temperature control plate (16) is arranged on at least one longitudinal side of the
cell block (1), with which the individual cells (3) are thermally coupled.wherein a cross-section of the partitions (22) of the
intermediate cell holders (9) in an
edge region (28) facing the
temperature control plate (16) is enlarged compared to a cross-section in a
central region (29) of the respective partition (22), with at least one end
cell holder (10) made of an electrically insulating material at an end face of the
cell block (1), wherein the end cell holder (10) has a partition (22) which covers an adjacent single cell (3), wherein a cross-section of the partition (22) in an
edge region (28) facing the
temperature control plate (16) is enlarged compared to a cross-section in a
central region (29) of the respective partition (22), wherein this cross-sectional enlargement extends in the direction of the adjacent single cell (3), characterized in thatthat the
intermediate cell holders (9) have side edges (23) on the edges running perpendicular to the
edge region (28) facing the temperature plate (16), which each project beyond half of the adjacent individual cells (3), so that the respective side edges (23) of adjacent intermediate cell holders (9) touch, and wherein the end cell holder (10) has side edges (23) on the edges running perpendicular to the edge region (28) facing the temperature plate (16), which project beyond half of the adjacent individual cells (3), so that the side edges (23) of the end cell holder (10) and of the adjacent intermediate cell holder (9) touch.
