BATTERY MODULE AND BATTERY SYSTEM WITH BATTERY CELLS SEPARATED BY A HEAT-RESISTANT SEPARATOR PLATE

A battery module includes a module housing, a cell stack having a plurality of battery cells including a rectangular surface and a cell thickness perpendicular thereto, and a separator plate. A laminar extension of the separator plate corresponds to at least the rectangular surface area of a respective battery cell. The separator plate is arranged between two adjacent battery cells of the at least one cell stack. On at least one separator plate side of the at least one separator plate between a lower and an upper edge of the at least one separator plate, at least two strip-shaped compression pads are arranged. The at least two strip-shaped compression pads directly abut the battery cell such that, longitudinally between the at least two strip-shaped compression pads, the at least one separator plate, and the respective battery cell, a respective flow channel is formed for a temperature control fluid.
