A temperature control device of a battery housing for a vehicle which is driven by an electric motor. The temperature control device is divided into multiple temperature control cells, and each temperature control cell has a heat exchange surface for transferring heat from a battery module, which is inserted into the temperature control cell and which is to be temperature-controlled, into the temperature control device or vice versa and at least one temperature control agent channel, which is arranged at a distance from the heat exchange surface, through which a fluid can flow, and which is fluidically connected to a first temperature control agent collector on the inlet side and to a second temperature control agent collector on the outlet side. The inlet or outlet connection of the first temperature control agent collector and the outlet or inlet connection of the second temperature control agent collector are arranged on the temperature control agent collector end portions facing in the same direction, and one of the two temperature control agent collectors is designed to have multiple channels. The temperature control agent channels of the temperature control cells open into a first collector channel of said temperature control agent collector, and the collector channel is provided with an additional collector channel, through which the temperature control agent is conducted in counter-current to the first collector channel, in order to be fluidically connected to the inlet or outlet connection of said temperature control agent collector. The heat exchange surface of the temperature control device is connected to the base on the lower face or to an intermediate base of a battery housing on the upper face, or the part of the temperature control device is the base of a battery housing, and each of the battery modules to be temperature-controlled lies on the heat exchange surface of a respective temperature control cell.
