A battery cell module arrangement for an electric battery pack comprising a housing for storing a plurality of battery cell modules, the battery cell module arrangement comprising:
- a first battery cell module which extends in a longitudinal direction, a width direction and a height direction, wherein the first battery cell module:
- is configured to hold and enclose at least one battery cell, and
- comprises a first outer side section and a second outer side section which are angled relative each other and divided by a first outer edge, wherein the first outer edge substantially extends in one of the longitudinal direction, the width direction and the height direction, and wherein the first outer side section comprises a first outer wall segment which at least partly defines the first outer edge,
- the battery cell module arrangement further comprising:
- a protective element for protecting the first battery cell module from contact with another element, such as another battery cell module and/or the housing of the electric battery pack, wherein the protective element:
- is configured to enclose a portion of the first outer edge, and
- comprises an attachment arrangement for attaching the protective element to the first battery cell module, the attachment arrangement comprising a first protruding member and a second protruding member which are offset from each other so that a first recess is formed therebetween, and wherein the first and second protruding members are configured so that the first outer wall segment can be received in the first recess, thereby attaching the protective element to the first battery cell module.
