The cooling plate includes a first plate and a second plate connected tightly thereto, and cooling channels defined between the first plate and the second plate. A first recess is provided in the first plate and a second recess in the second plate, which are arranged substantially aligned with one another when the cooling plate is mounted. A cover element is provided, which is releasably connected to the first plate and covers the first recess, or which is releasably connected to the second plate and covers the second recess. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A cooling plate for a cooling device, comprising: a first plate and a second plate connected tightly thereto, and cooling channels defined between the first plate and the second plate, a first recess in the first plate and a second recess in the second plate, the first recess and the second recess arranged substantially aligned with one another when the cooling plate is mounted and allow the cooling plate to engage through at this point, a cover element, which is releasably connected to the first plate and covers the first recess, or which is releasably connected to the second plate and covers the second recess. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The cooling plate according to claim 1, wherein the first plate and the second plate are glued, welded, screwed, soldered, or connected to one another via a roll bonding technique. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The cooling plate according to claim 1, wherein the first plate and/or the second plate are made composed of sheet metal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The cooling plate according to claim 1, wherein the first plate and/or the second plate are composed of plastic. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The cooling plate according to claim 1, wherein the cover element is composed of sheet metal or plastic. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The cooling plate according to claim 1, wherein the cover element is tightly connected to the first plate or the second plate. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The cooling plate according to claim 1, wherein the cover element comprises stiffening structures. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The cooling plate according to claim 1, wherein the cover element is releasably glued, screwed, or clipped to the first plate or the second plate. ### Claim 9 An electric or hybrid vehicle, comprising: a component, a battery, a cooling device having at least one cooling plate for cooling the battery, the at least one cooling plate including: a first plate and a second plate connected thereto, with cooling channels defined between the first plate and the second plate, a first recess in the first plate and a second recess in the second plate, the first recess and the second recess arranged substantially aligned with one another when the at least one cooling plate is mounted and allow the at least one cooling plate to engage through at this point, a cover, which is releasably connected to the first plate and covers the first recess, or which is releasably connected to the second plate and covers the second recess, wherein the at least one cooling plate is connected to the battery in a heat-transmitting manner, and wherein the cover element is arranged on the at least one cooling plate such that it allows access to the component and/or the battery after removal. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the first recess and the second recess are arranged in an area that only requires reduced cooling of the battery and/or the component. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the at least one cooling plate is glued to the battery. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the first plate and the second plate are glued, welded, screwed, soldered, or roll-bonded to one another. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the first plate and/or the second plate are composed of sheet metal. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the first plate and/or the second plate are composed of plastic. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the cover is composed of sheet metal. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the cover is composed of plastic. ### Claim 17 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the cover is tightly connected to the first plate or the second plate. ### Claim 18 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the cover comprises stiffening structures. ### Claim 19 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the cover is releasably glue, screwed, or clipped to the first plate. ### Claim 20 (depends on 9) The electric or hybrid vehicle according to claim 9, wherein the cover is releasably glue, screwed, or clipped to the second plate.
