Method for thermally isolating battery cells in case of failure

摘要

A battery module having a plurality of battery cells positioned adjacent to one another and electrically connected to one another, between which the thermal resistance between adjacent battery cells may be increased in the case of a malfunction of the battery module and/or of individual battery cells, in order to prevent overheating of adjacent cells. In addition, a method for thermally decoupling battery cells in the case of a malfunction is described.
