    The invention relates to a rechargeable electric battery, in particular high-voltage battery, preferably for an electric vehicle, having at least two stacks of battery cells stacked in the stacking direction, wherein the stacks are arranged side by side transversely to the stacking direction.
    Battery packs consisting of several lithium-ion battery cells, in addition to these include a number of other subsystems such as cell attachments, cell cooling, cell monitoring, cell connections, or the like. The integration of these subsystems requires additional space that goes far beyond the volume enclosed by cell chemistry. This has a detrimental effect on the already lower volumetric energy density compared to fossil fuels
    Due to the design of various known lithium-ion pouch cells, in which the plastic cell envelopes are laterally sealed around the active cell chemistry by means of a sealed seam, arise when lining up several cells spaces. These spaces can be technically difficult to use because they can only be very roughly dimensioned due to the manufacturing tolerances of the battery cells and sometimes split by the protruding seal seams into small individual interstices.
    From DE 10 2009 035 463 Al a battery with a plurality of flat, substantially plate-shaped single battery cells is known. The battery cells are stacked into a cell stack and surrounded by a battery case. The battery single cells are formed in frame flat construction with metallic sheets and a frame made of insulating material.
    Also known from WO 2008/048751 A2 is a battery module with a multiplicity of plate-shaped battery cells arranged side by side in a stack, which are accommodated in a housing.
    WO 2010/053689 A2 describes a battery arrangement with a housing and a plurality of lithium-ion cells, which are arranged next to one another. The housing is flowed through for cooling with a thermally conductive, electrically insulating fluid. 2
    From WO 2010/067944 Al a battery with juxtaposed stack of battery lines is known, wherein battery cells are cooled by cooling air.
    The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned, and to improve the volumetric energy density in an electric battery of the type mentioned.
    According to the invention, this is achieved in that at least two juxtaposed stacks are arranged offset to one another in the stacking direction.
    The offset of the two stacks is preferably about half the thickness of a battery cell.
    In order to achieve a tight packing, it is particularly advantageous if at least one battery cell of a stack is arranged at least partially overlapping with respect to at least one battery cell of an adjacent stack. In order to use the remaining cavities, at least one first cooling air channel can be formed between at least one overlapping region of the battery cells of adjacent stacks.
    At least one battery cell is surrounded by a plastic cell casing, wherein the plastic cell casing has a protruding seal seam-preferably arranged approximately in the region of a cell center plane-circumferentially along the narrow side of the battery cell. Between the sealing seams of adjacent battery cells of a stack a free space is spanned in each case. This space may form a first and / or second cooling air channel. In this case, at least one first cooling air channel in the direction of a vertical axis of the battery and at least one second cooling air channel in the direction of a normal to the vertical axis and normal to the stacking direction formed transverse axis of the battery can be arranged.
    In order to enable a simple production, it is advantageous if in each case two stacks with partially overlapping battery cells form a battery module, wherein preferably each battery module is arranged between two preferably thermally and / or electrically insulating plates. 3 The area between the two adjacent stacks flows through the first cooling air channel and is cooled. The second cooling air passages through which cooling air flows are arranged on the upper side of the battery and serve to cool the cell poles and / or the electrical cell connectors. In this case, a particularly good cooling latter can be achieved if at least one preferably a U-profile or Y-profile exhibiting cell connector for electrical connection of two adjacent battery cells protrudes into a second cooling air channel. The first and / or second cooling air ducts may be part of a closed cooling air circuit for cooling the battery, wherein preferably the cooling air circuit has at least one cooling air blower and at least one heat exchanger. Due to the closed cooling air circuit, the cooling of the battery can be largely independent of adverse environmental influences, such as temperature and humidity fluctuations, air pollution, or the like, performed. This ensures constant optimum operating conditions for the battery and enables a long service life of the same.
    At least one sealed seam of a battery cell of a first stack can protrude into a free space formed by sealing seams of two adjacent battery cells of a second stack. The sealing seams delimiting the free space or projecting into the free space can form flow guide surfaces for cooling air. As a result, on the one hand improves the cooling air flow and on the other hand increases the swept by cooling air surface.
    In order to avoid thermal overheating of adjacent battery cells as possible, it is provided that between two adjacent battery cells of at least one stack, a thermal and electrical insulation layer is disposed, wherein preferably the insulating layer is formed by an insulating film.
    By the measures described the required space can be reduced and the volumetric energy density can be increased.
    The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to FIG.

    The rechargeable battery 1 has in the exemplary embodiment seven battery modules 2, wherein each battery module 2 has two stacks 3, 4 of juxtaposed and strained battery cells 5. The stacks 3, 4 of each battery module 2 are sandwiched between two structurally stiff corrugated metal plates 6, e.g. Aluminum, or plastic, arranged, wherein the plates 6 may be formed by die castings. The plates 6 themselves are clamped between two holding plates 7, 8 at the front and back of the battery 1, wherein the holding plate 7 is fixedly connected at the front by means of clamping screws 9 with the holding plate 8 at the rear. The clamping screws 9 are each in the Area of the plates 6 is arranged. The plates 6 together with the holding plates 7, 8 form a holding frame 10 for the battery modules 2. The holding plates 7, 8 have openings in order to keep the weight as low as possible. The-seen in the stacking direction y - defined distance between the clamping screws 9 ensures that the battery cells are installed 5 in the correct position and with certain and over the life of the battery 1 is substantially invariable bias. Between the plates 6 and the adjacent battery cells 5 is in each case an elastic insulating layer 6a, for example of a foam, arranged, which allows a uniform and gentle pressure distribution.
    Down the battery 1 is completed by a bottom plate 11.
    The battery 1 together with the holding frame 10 is arranged in a housing 12, wherein between the housing 12 and the battery 1 cooling air flow paths are formed. For guiding the cooling air flow, flow guide surfaces 13 are incorporated in the housing bottom 12a, as can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 4,
    Each battery cell 5 is surrounded by a plastic sheath 14, wherein the plastic sheath 14 approximately in the region of a Zellmittelebene 15 along the narrow side 5a has a protruding seal seam 16 for sealing. Between 5 * the sealing seams 16 of two adjacent battery cells 5 of a stack 3, 4 a free space 17 is spanned in each case.
    To save space, the two juxtaposed stack 3, 4 each battery module 2 are offset and formed overlapping each other. The offset V is approximately half the thickness D of a battery cell 5. The sealing seams 16 of a battery cell 5 of the one stack 3, 4 protrude into a space of sealing seams 16 of two adjacent battery cells 5 of the other stack 4, 3 open space 17 inside. As a result, the free space 17 can be used at least partially by accommodating part of the sealing seams 16. This has a very beneficial effect on the size of the installed space and on the volumetric energy density. The offset v between the two stacks 3, 4 causes the plates 6 form a step 24 in the region of a longitudinal center plane la of the battery 1.
    On the upper narrow side 5a protrude from the plastic sheaths 14 cell poles 18, which are connected to each other via U- and Y-shaped cell connectors 19, 20.
    The connection between the cell connectors 19, 20 and the cell poles 18 may be implemented as a clinching connection 21 comprising one or more clinching points 21a in a clinching process. This allows a particularly high current carrying capacity by means of juxtaposed Mehrfachfügepunkte and a corrosion-resistant long-term compound due to the hermetically sealed joints and easy contacting of the cell poles 18 with different materials (copper to aluminum and vice versa), without additional components. By means of clinching, two to four sheets can be electrically connected to one another with the same tool, with the materials copper, aluminum and steel being particularly suitable for wall thicknesses of 0.1 to 0.5 mm. Optionally, cell voltage monitoring cables 22 can thus be connected to the cell poles 18 in a clinching operation method simultaneously with the cell connectors 19, 20 in one step. Since the position of the clinching points 21a of the clinching joint 21 is allowed to scatter more than, for example, a laser welding joint, a relatively high tolerance compensation capability results. By using parallel and multiple tools can be realized for larger quantities a simple and cost-effective production, with only a few and easily controllable influencing factors such as material wall thickness, pressing force, etc. are available. Through the in the 6 * * m * * «- *» *. The heat-dissipating surface of the battery 1 is increased, which is particularly important in the case of direct air cooling of the cell poles 18. The protruding clinch points 21a also contribute to the increase in turbulence, which improves the heat transport, in particular in the case of air cooling. As a result of their positive effect on the cooling, clinching points 21a also contribute to increasing the volumetric energy density through efficient use of space.
    In order to achieve a particularly good volumetric energy density, it is necessary to position the battery cells 5 as close to each other as possible. For this purpose, a thin, thermal and electrical insulator layer 23, for example an insulating film, is arranged between the battery cells 5 in order to prevent the occurrence of a "domino effect". to avoid thermal overload of an adjacent battery cell 5.
    The free spaces 17 at the same time form cooling air channels 26, 27. In the region of the overlap 25 of the two stacks 3, 4, that is to say in the region of the longitudinal center plane 1a of the battery 1, the free spaces 17 form first cooling air channels 26, which are arranged in the direction of the vertical axis z of the battery 1. The sealing seams 16 thereby form flow guide surfaces for the air flow and heat-dissipating surfaces. In the direction of a transverse axis x normal to the vertical axis z and normal to the stacking direction y second cooling air channels 27 are formed in the region of the cell poles 18 through the free spaces 17 at the top of the battery cells 5.
    The first and second cooling air channels 26, 27 are part of a closed cooling air circuit 28 for cooling the battery 1, wherein the cooling air circuit 28 has at least one cooling air blower 29 and at least one heat exchanger 30. The cooling air is - coming from the cooling air blower 29 and the heat exchanger 30 - in the housing 12 in the region of the holding plate 9 at the rear and / or top of the battery 1 or in the region of the cell poles 18 supplied. The cooling air flows through the second cooling air channels 27 and cools cell poles 18 and cell connectors 19, 20. Thereafter, at least a portion of the cooling air passes into the first cooling air channels 26, which lead the cooling air counter to the vertical axis z down. In this case, all spaces and clearances 17 of the battery 1 flows through and dissipates accumulating heat. Between the holding plate 8 at the front of the battery 1 and the housing 12 and the remaining cooling air 7 flows to the housing bottom 12a of the housing 12, where it is passed through the flow guide 13 to the vehicle longitudinal center plane ε and collected. Thereafter, the cooling air is sucked in again by the cooling air blower and cooled in the heat exchanger 30, before it is again supplied in the closed cooling circuit 28 of the battery 1.
