A safety arrangement in a motor vehicle having a battery is designed to protect the battery from damage in the event that the vehicle is involved in an accident. The safety arrangement is particularly suitable for electric vehicles or so-called hybrid motor vehicles. The arrangement incorporates an inflatable unit having a substantially rigid wall member and a flexible layer of sheet material secured to one another to define an inflatable chamber between the wall member and the flexible layer. The wall member is mounted in spaced relation to the battery. The flexible layer is interposed between the wall member and the battery, such that inflation of the chamber, for example by a gas generator or the like, is effective to urge the flexible layer towards the battery.
