Stored Energy Source for a Motor Vehicle

A stored energy source for a motor vehicle has a bottom plate, by which battery modules in question are at least indirectly supported and by which the stored energy source is delimited at the bottom. In order to provide a stored energy source that is optimized with respect to its behavior during an accident and with respect to the vehicle package and does not require any installation space in the interior of the motor vehicle, the stored energy source has at least one line, which runs above the bottom plate and exits the stored energy source at a front and a rear end.
