NOVELTY - The storage (10) has an electrochemical cell (12) arranged in a form-stable metallic housing (14). A laminate (16) is partially arranged at an outer side of the housing, and comprises an electrically insulating layer (18) and a protective layer (22). The laminate is formed as a mold part that is planarly arranged at the housing. Thickness of the insulating layer is in a range of greater than or equal to 7 micrometers and less than or equal to 100 micrometers. A heat conductive layer i.e. heat conductive film, is arranged at a bottom part of the housing and made of polyurethane or silicone.    USE - Energy storage i.e. electrochemical battery (claimed) such as lithium ion battery, in a region of entertainment electronics e.g. mobile telephone, MPEG-1 audio layer 3 (MP3)-player and electrical tool. Can also be used for a traction battery in a region of automotive engineering e.g. electrically driven vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - The laminate is partially arranged at the outer side of the housing, provided with the electrically insulating layer and the protective layer and formed as the mold part that is planarly arranged at the housing, so that the laminate acts in an electrically insulative manner, protects the energy storage against mechanical actions and reduces impairment of thermal connection. The energy storage is thermally stable and exhibits high energy density. The laminate enables sufficient thermal dissipation of heat energy storage during operation of the cell or module. The protective layer is provided to the insulating layer so as to ensure considerable degree mechanical shockproof for the laminate. The protective layer protects the laminate or the insulation layer against mechanical damages. The housing exhibits suitable stability to protect interior of the cell against mechanical damages. The laminate is glued into the housing, thus avoiding provision of heat input and damage of the cell, and reducing energy input.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The thickness of the protective layer is in range of greater than or equal to 50 micrometers and less than or equal to 250 micrometers.
