Battery module including tapping element and housing connected in fluid-tight manner

A battery module comprising:

• a plurality of battery cells (2) which are received in an interior (4) of a housing (3) of the battery module (1) and which are electrically conductively connected to one another in series and/or in parallel, wherein
• the housing (3) comprises an opening (5) which is designed to guide a voltage tap (6) of the battery module (1) from the interior (4) of the housing (3), the opening (5) defined within an exterior surface (10) of the housing (3), and
• the battery module (1) further comprises a tapping element (7), which is designed to contact the voltage tap (6) of the battery module (1) from an environment (8) of the battery module (1), wherein
• the housing (3) and the tapping element (7) are connected to one another in a fluid-tight manner with respect to the environment (8),
• wherein
• a sealing element (9) of the housing (3) extending directly from the exterior surface (10) in a direction away from the interior (4) of the housing (3) and surrounding an entire perimeter of the opening (5), and
• wherein the tapping element (7) and the housing (3) are connected to one another by a plurality of screw connections (11), wherein the screw connections (11) each comprise a screw receptacle (12), in each of which a screw (13) is received,
• wherein a bearing surface (14) of the screw receptacle (12) is formed as part of the housing (3) and raised relative to a second surface (15) of the housing (3), wherein the second surface (15) is arranged so as to directly surround the screw receptacle (12).
