Drive Battery for a Motor Vehicle, and Motor Vehicle Comprising Such a Drive Battery

A drive battery for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a drive battery housing which has a cover wall and a base wall;
• a battery cell layer having a multiplicity of battery cells, which are arranged vertically and next to one another;
• and
• a support layer, wherein the support layer and the battery cell layer are disposed in the drive battery housing,
• wherein the battery cell layer is adhesively bonded across a large area, to the cover wall via an upper adhesive layer and to the support layer via a lower adhesive layer, and
• the support layer is further adhesively bonded to the base wall via a further adhesive layer.

A method for producing a drive battery for a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

• disposing a cover wall of a battery housing or a battery cell contacting system, and a battery cell layer, on top of one another;
• filling intermediate spaces between individual layers and battery cells of the battery cell layer with a liquid foam precursor product;
• and
• foaming, by way of reaction of the liquid foam precursor product after the filling procedure, so as to form a foamed material which adhesively bonds the cover wall, or the battery cell contacting system, and the battery cell layer to one another.
