Cell separating element for arrangement between two battery cells and battery module for a motor vehicle

A cell separating element for arrangement in an intermediate space between two battery cells of a cell stack which are arranged adjacent to one another in a stacking direction,

• wherein the cell separating element is designed to be elastically compressible at least in part with respect to a first direction, which corresponds to the stacking direction when the cell separating element is arranged in the intermediate space,
• wherein the cell separating element has a first flexible outer wall with a first inner side and a second flexible outer wall with a second inner side,
• wherein the first and second outer wall are opposite each other in the first direction, so that the first inner side faces the second inner side,
• wherein the first and second outer walls are at least partially connected to one another all around at the edges and wherein an interior space of the cell separating element is located between the first and second outer wall;
• wherein the cell separating element has an intermediate plate which is arranged between the first and second outer wall, which divides the interior space into at least a first spatial region and a second spatial region, which are arranged next to one another in the first direction,
• wherein the intermediate plate comprises a first plate side facing the first inner side and a second plate side facing the second inner side,
• wherein the cell separating element has at least one first resilient support element arranged on the first plate side, which resiliently supports the intermediate plate against the first inner side, and at least one second resilient support element arranged on the second plate side, which resiliently supports the intermediate plate against the second inner side.
