Abstract
A battery frame (1) is provided for accommodating battery modules in a motor vehicle that can be driven electrically at times. The battery frame (1) has two outer longitudinal members (2) spaced apart from one another and outer (3) and inner crossmembers (4) connected thereto. Receptacles (5) for the battery modules are formed between the crossmembers (3, 4). Each outer longitudinal member (2) has a C-shaped profile. Ends of the inner crossmembers (4) engage in the C profile of the respective longitudinal member (2) via a deformation element (7). Thus, the battery frame has good crash performance in the event of a pole impact, and a relatively large accommodating volume.
