battery housing is considered as having two parts the housing cover and the housing base the housing cover from fig3 can be a plastic part made of for example prevalent technical plastic materials such as fiber composite materials this ensures cost effective processing and an optimal weight solution this achieves the required stability by lock beading and connection to the housing base the housing base as can be seen in the isometric representation in fig4 for example preferably should be made of materials such as high strength steel aluminum magnesium titanium fiber reinforced composite plastic metal hybrids etc the production of the housing base should take place by a casting method insofar as possible in this regard the housing base should be designed such that the required stiffness on the bottom is achieved by means of braces the housing which can comprise the housing cover as depicted in fig3 and the housing base as depicted in fig4 should be designed such that it is watertight and can be opened and closed again in a watertight manner the housing should likewise include elements for pressure equalization and avoidance of condensation the housing base then has for example a cover plate and a cast support element that.
