Battery for an at Least Partially Electrically Operable Motor Vehicle having at least One Flexible Tensioning Device which is Supported on a Motor Vehicle Component, and Motor Vehicle

A battery includes a plurality of battery cells, where each of the battery cells has a first volume in a discharged state of the battery cell and a second volume which is different from the first volume in a charged state of the battery cell. A predetermined force is exertable on the plurality of battery cells by a flexible tensioning device in the discharged state and in the charged state. The flexible tensioning device is configured such that, in order to exert the predetermined force on the plurality of battery cells, the flexible tensioning device is supportable on a motor vehicle component of a motor vehicle.
