The accumulator further comprises at least one contacting device having at least one contacting element which is arranged between two adjoining contact terminals and interconnects said two adjoining contact terminals in an electrically conductive manner. The accumulator further comprises a housing, which entirely accommodates the at least two positive electrodes, the at least two negative electrodes and the at least one contacting device. The accumulator comprises at least one cladding structure, which encloses the at least one contacting device.
