1. High-energy battery for high operating temperatures, the battery comprising:
- a housing;
a plurality of cells arranged next to one another in said housing, the cells each having a first end and a second end and side walls;
a liquid or gaseous medium flowing within the housing to influence the temperature of the individual cells; and
guide means for guiding the medium within the housing and for directing the medium such that only one of said first end and second end or both said first end and second end of the cells are brought directly or indirectly into heat-exchanging contact with the medium.
