Abstract

A battery comprises a housing and a plurality of battery cells arranged in the housing. Each battery cell has at least one discharge valve. The battery further comprises a discharge pipe system for discharging gases released from one, a plurality of or all discharge valves of the battery cells. The discharge pipe system according to the disclosure has a plurality of separate connections for receiving the released gases and a common discharge guide into which the separate connections open and via which the released gases can be discharged out of the housing. The battery is characterized in that a protective film is arranged between the discharge valves of the battery cells and the separate connections of the discharge pipe system so that direct contact of the battery cells to the gases in the discharge pipe system is prevented.
