THERMAL DECOUPLING OF BATTERY CELLS IN THE EVENT OF A FAULT

摘要

The present invention relates to a battery module having a plurality of battery cells which are arranged adjacent to one another and are electrically connected to one another, and between which the thermal resistance between adjacent battery cells can be increased in the event of a fault of the battery module and/or in individual battery cells, in order to prevent overheating of adjacent cells. The invention furthermore relates to a method for thermal decoupling of battery cells in the event of a fault.
