For a technical object whose temperature is to be controlled, in particular a battery for an electric vehicle drive, there is provided a heat exchanger arrangement, the heat exchanger of which is in the form of a heat-exchanging pouch which has an inflow and outflow duct and which is in heat-conducting contact with internal surfaces of the object whose temperature is to be controlled. The heat-exchanging pouch is produced in a simple manner by means of edge welding of two foil pieces arranged one above the other. The mounting of said heat-exchanging pouch in a narrow gap space of a heat exchanger arrangement, and good heat transfer to adjacent walls, are made possible by means of a pressure pouch which is likewise formed from a foil material and which is filled with a compressible medium.

Disclosed is a battery pack having a plurality of battery cells or unit modules (unit cells), which can be charged and discharged, mounted in a pack case, wherein the unit cells are stacked in a direction (a Z direction) in which the unit cells are sequentially stacked in parallel to a ground in a state in which a spacing distance for coolant flow is provided between the respective unit cells to constitute a battery module, two or more battery modules are arranged in a horizontal direction (an X direction) on the plane with respect to a coolant introduction direction in which a coolant is introduced through a coolant inlet port in a state in which flow of the coolant between the battery modules is restrained to constitute a battery module group.

Cases can couple to a battery device to be held within the case. The case can include features, such as a clip with a heat sink, for dissipating heat away from the battery device while the case is within a pocket of a user. Such features can promote heat dissipation for the battery device even while the battery device is within an enclosed environment. The clip can serve as a mechanical engagement feature as well as a thermal dissipation feature. The clip can conduct heat away from the battery device and into an external environment, providing improved heat dissipation for the battery device and reducing the need for power throttling.
