Battery housing

A battery housing for a vehicle comprising:

• a frame structure and a trough with a base and with side walls connected to the base forming a trough interior,
• wherein the base has at least one embossment which is offset into the trough interior and which follows the course of an adjacent side wall,
• wherein the embossment has a connection section and a transition section, the connection section is offset relative to the base by an offset amount and connected to the frame structure, and the transition section is arranged between the connection section and the base,
• wherein the transition section has a maximum offset amount with respect to the base, and the maximum offset amount corresponds at least to a material thickness of the base, such that as a result of the maximum offset amount of the transition section and the connection section being offset from the base, a force introduced laterally into the battery housing via the frame structure is introduced into the battery housing above a plane of the base facing into the trough interior and, due to the transition section offsetting the connection section from the base, a torque (bending moment) acts via the transition section on an adjoining region of the base, with a direction of the torque pointing away from the trough interior of the trough.
