A channel for cooling at least one battery cell is set out. The channel includes a first housing frame and a second housing frame. The first housing frame is connected to the second housing frame and a partially fluid-tight region is formed between the first housing frame 133 and the second housing frame by the shape and material properties of the first housing frame and the second housing frame. The partially fluid-tight region forms the channel and the channel is arranged to allow a coolant to flow through the channel.
