Storage unit for storing electrical energy with a cooling element

摘要

The storage unit (1) has energy storage portion (3) comprising a positive terminal (7) and a negative terminal (9). The energy store portion is charged with electrical energy through the positive terminal and the negative terminal, and the electrical energy is discharged from the energy storage portion through the terminals. A thermally conductive cooling element (35) is operatively connected with the positive and negative terminals of the energy storage portion to dissipate the heat from the energy storage portion.
