Battery module comprising a plurality of battery cells and method for producing such a battery module

Problem

How can battery fires and thermal runaway in EV packs be prevented?

Solution

battery module comprising a plurality of battery cells ( 2 ), which are each connected electrically conductively in series and/or in parallel with one another, and comprising a switching device ( 3 ), which has a first terminal ( 31 ) and a second terminal ( 32 ), wherein a first electrically conductive connecting element ( 41 ) connects the first terminal ( 31 ) of the switching device ( 3 ) electrically conductively to a first terminal ( 51 ) of a fuse element ( 5 ), and a second terminal ( 52 ) of the fuse element ( 5 ) is electrically conductively connected to a voltage tap ( 61 ) of a terminally arranged battery cell ( 2, 21 ), and a second electrically conductive connecting element ( 42 ) connects the second terminal ( 32 ) of the switching device ( 3 ) electrically conductively to a voltage tap ( 62 ) of the battery module ( 1 ).
