Original Abstract Submitted
A method for producing a battery module, having a plurality of prismatic battery cells and/or a plurality of battery cells in the form of pouch cells, includes in a first method step detecting a width of a battery cell when a defined force is applied to the respective battery cell. In a second method step, the plurality of battery cells are arranged adjacent to one another in a longitudinal direction of the battery module, and a compensating element is arranged between two battery cells arranged directly adjacent to one another. A width of the compensating element is formed in such a way that a sum of the widths of the two battery cells arranged directly adjacent to one another and the width of the compensating element has a defined value, so that ultimately the battery module has a defined overall width.
