The cell 100 comprises the first contact lug 106 configured as a sheet-metal part and welded onto the first end face 103. The contact lug 106 has the planar section 106a extending in a plane parallel to the first end face 103, and also the contact section 106b, which can be angled away out of the plane of the section 106a.

Furthermore, the cell 100 comprises the second contact lug 107 configured as a sheet-metal part and welded onto the second end face 104. The contact lug 107 comprises the planar subsection 107a extending in a plane parallel to the second end face 104, and the subsection 107b, which is angled away from the plane and extends as far as into the plane of the planar section 106a. This angled-away subsection 107b comprises the terminal contact section 107c and the expansion section 107d between the contact section 107c and the plane of the planar subsection 107a. The second contact lug 107 can expand out of this section under tensile loading in its main direction of extent.

The second contact lug 107 is of S-shaped design, in particular designed as a track-like conductor in an S-shape or as a strip-like conductor in an S-shape or as a conductor with a round cross section in an S-shape, in the expansion section 107d, that is to say has a non-linear profile in the expansion section 107d. The total length of the conductor of S-shaped design significantly exceeds the height of the cell.
