The retaining system is designed such that it does not transfer any forces from the energy store to the retaining system in the locked or latched position. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A retaining system for retaining an energy store, comprising: a lock with a lock pin; and a locking latch which is movably mounted, and has an opening into which the lock pin engages, the lock pin configured to move the locking latch when the lock is actuated, the locking latch configured to mechanically lock the energy store in the retaining system in a latched position, and to release the lock of the energy store in an unlatched position; wherein the locking latch has a first molding corresponding to a protuberance that projects into the opening, a position of the lock pin and an arrangement of the first molding in the opening in the latched position being provided in such a way that a first mobility of the locking latch is less than a second mobility of the locking latch in the unlatched position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The retaining system as recited in claim 1, wherein the lock pin corresponds to a stop for the first molding in the latched position, the stop being reached after a distance is traveled by the lock pin. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The retaining system as recited in claim 1, wherein the lock pin is moved within the opening to achieve the unlatched position of the locking latch, and wherein the lock pin does not correspond to a stop for the first molding in the unlatched position. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The retaining system as recited in claim 1, wherein the locking latch is rotatably mounted, movement of the lock pin in the opening effecting the rotation of the locking latch. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The retaining system as recited in claim 1, wherein the locking latch includes a second molding oriented away from the opening and in the latched position engages into a receptacle for locking the energy store by way of a rotating movement. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The retaining system as recited in claim 5, wherein the second molding is configured such that a support plate attached to the energy store moves the locking latch to the unlatched position when inserted.
