Method and system for producing a thermal interface in a battery for a motor vehicle

A method for manufacturing a thermal interface in a battery for a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

• providing of at least one battery module and at least one receiving structure, with a receiving region comprising a heat-transmission surface for receiving a side of the battery module in an intended installation position;
• measuring the receiving region and/or the side of the battery module using a measuring device;
• determining, using of a data processing device, a size and shape of a gap that forms between the heat-transmission surface and the side of the battery module in the intended installation position of the battery module based on the measurement;
• determining a dosage specification for a heat-conducting material for filling of the gap based on the determined size and shape of the gap using the data-processing device;
• applying, using a dosing device, the heat-conducting material onto the heat-transmission surface and/or onto the side of the battery module according to the determined dosage specification;
• and
• installing the battery module, using an installation device, in the intended installation position by compressing of the applied heat-conducting material, whereafter the compressed heat-conducting material forms the thermal interface between the side of the battery module and the heat-transmission surface.
