A battery system having a hose made from an elastic material. The hose is designed to be fitted on a hose connection by pushing a hose endpiece of the hose over the hose connection. The hose endpiece is designed to be fastened on the hose connection by a hose clip that is arranged in a fitting region of the hose endpiece. The hose endpiece has at least one thickened area which protrudes from the outer side of the hose. The thickened area protrudes from the outer side of the hose to such an extent that a hose clip suitable for fastening the hose on the hose connection is held on the hose endpiece by the thickened area with respect to the influence of gravity in the longitudinal direction of the hose endpiece. The hose may have multiple branch-off points.

The hose clamp described herein consists of a clamping band (10) with overlapping band sections in the closed state of the hose clamp, on which hooks (12, 19) are arranged for closing the hose clamp, and with a tightening device (15) arranged in the outer band section for tightening the hose clamp around an object to be clamped. The hooks (12, 19) are stamped out from the clamping band under cold working and each have a lug (21, 25). In the closed state of the hose clamp, the lug (21) of a hook (12) arranged on the inner band section and the lug (25) of a hook (19) arranged on the outer band section engage over each other, and the force is transmitted via transverse surfaces (27, 32) of the hooks (12, 19) that are in contact with each other.

A hose clamp for connecting, for example, a hose to a pipe nipple, wherein the hose clamp is made of a clamping band 10 comprising band sections which overlap one another in the closed state of the hose clamp and on which hooks 12, 19 are arranged for closing the hose clamp, and a tightening device 15 arranged in the outer band section for tightening the hose clamp around an object to be clamped, wherein the tightening device comprises two outwardly protruding legs and a bar connecting the legs, wherein at least one corrugated bead 21 extending between the edges of the clamping band and parallel to them is formed on the inner band section of the clamping band, so that at least a part of the corrugated bead is located below the tightening device in the closed state of the clamping band.
