NOVELTY - The housing has a housing base body (1) with an inner chamber for receiving cell components (30) of individual alkali metal cell. A housing cover (2) closes an interior region of the housing base body, where the housing base body is made of plastic. A moderate temperature control channel (3) is formed in the housing base body, which includes doubled bases with an outer base section (1a) and an inner base section (1b). The control channel is formed between the outer base section and the inner base section. The housing base body includes doubled walls with outer and inner wall sections.    USE - Hard shell cell housing for individual alkali metal cell e.g. lithium cell, lithium ion cell and galvanic cell, (all claimed) of a battery system in a stationary system e.g. solar and wind power systems, a mobile system e.g. vehicle e.g. hybrid electric car, plug-in hydride electric car, electric car or micro hybrid vehicle, and an energy-storage system e.g. telecommunication and/or data processing apparatus such as mobile telephone, MPEG audio layer 3 player or tool.    ADVANTAGE - The housing is designed such that the alkali metal cell is operated and installed in a safe, reliable and efficient manner, and has prolonged service life, and protects the alkali metal cell from mechanical damage and allows the housing base body and housing cover to be plug connected together in a simple manner with better sealing effect. The housing is manufactured in a cost effective manner with better electrical insulating properties.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The housing base body and housing cover comprise a vapor barrier layer that is selected from is a metallic, organic, polymeric or glass layer. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for manufacturing a galvanic cell.
