High-Voltage Storage Device for a Motor Vehicle

A high-voltage storage device for a motor vehicle includes a plurality of battery cells, a housing element on which the battery cells are held, and at least one longitudinal member on which the housing element is held and which has a safety distance from the battery cells in a distance direction. The longitudinal member has at least one predetermined deformation zone, the design of which zone allows predetermined deformation of the longitudinal member to be defined when force is applied to the longitudinal member in the distance direction, as a result of which the safety distance can be maintained.
