NOVELTY - The energy storage cell comprises an electrically conductive housing (8) having first (11), second (12) and third outer walls, electrochemical element arranged in the housing, an anode current tap (6), and a cathode current tap (7). The first outer wall is spaced apart from the second outer wall, and the third outer wall connects the first and second outer walls to one another. The electrochemical element has an anode connection and a cathode connection. The anode current tap is electrically conductively connected to the anode connection and arranged on the first outer wall.    USE - The energy storage cell is useful in a module for a motor vehicle (claimed), and as a sole support for driving the motor vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - The energy storage cell can be economically and efficiently manufactured with easy maintenance and increased reliability.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The energy storage cell comprises an electrically conductive housing (8) having first (11), second (12) and third outer walls, electrochemical element arranged in the housing, an anode current tap (6), and a cathode current tap (7). The first outer wall is spaced apart from the second outer wall, and the third outer wall connects the first and second outer walls to one another. The electrochemical element has an anode connection and a cathode connection. The anode current tap is electrically conductively connected to the anode connection and arranged on the first outer wall. The cathode current tap is electrically conductively connected to the first or third outer wall. The cathode connection is electrically and thermally conductively connected to the second outer wall in an interior of the housing. The first outer wall of the housing is partially formed by a cover. The anode and cathode current taps are arranged on the cover. The housing has parallelepipedal shape. The first outer wall is arranged parallel to the second outer wall. An outer surface of the second outer wall is electrically insulated by a film. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an energy storage module.
