1. A method, comprising:
providing an absorber material, comprising:
a casing; and
superabsorbent particles arranged therein, and
using the absorber material to absorb and/or distribute liquids in an actively and/or passively cooled current-carrying system comprising an actively and/or passively cooled power storage system,
wherein the casing comprises at least two plies arranged in a planar fashion on one another,
wherein regions of the at least two plies are connected to one another by at least one seam such that the casing is segmented in a form of pockets separated from one another,
wherein the at least one seam is configured to transport liquid between the pockets, and
wherein at least some of the pockets have the superabsorbent particles.
