Abstract
A battery having a plurality of battery modules arranged in a battery housing. Each battery module comprises a battery cell, which is at least partially enclosed by a module housing of the respective battery module and has two connection poles on a top side of the module housing. To guide a gas flow emerging from the battery cell of at least one of the battery modules along a predetermined degassing path, the module housing of each battery module has a first degassing opening at an end face perpendicular to the top face of the module housing, and the battery housing has a second degassing opening.

A battery comprising:
- a plurality of battery modules arranged in a battery housing, wherein each battery module includes a battery cell, wherein the battery cell is at least partially enclosed by a module housing of the respective battery module and has two connection poles on a top side of the module housing, wherein
- to guide a gas flow emerging from the battery cell of at least one of the battery modules along a predetermined degassing path, the module housing of each battery module has a first degassing opening and the battery housing has a second degassing opening, wherein
- the first degassing opening is positioned on an end face of the module housing of each battery module that is perpendicular to the top side of the module housing and is designed to discharge the gas flow from an interior limited by the module housing into a degassing channel of the battery housing, wherein the second degassing opening is designed to allow the gas flow to escape from the degassing channel into an environment of the battery adjoining the battery housing.
