1. A structure for the heat treatment of an electrical storage device for a motor vehicle, the structure comprising:
at least one heat exchange plate configured to be in contact with the electrical storage device and having a thickness defined by two external surfaces,
the heat exchange plate comprising at least one channel formed in its thickness and opening at at least one end of the channel into the thickness of the heat exchange plate,
wherein, at the level of the end of the channel, the external surfaces of the heat exchange plate are separated from one another by a distance less than the thickness, and
wherein the channel is defined by opposite first and second internal faces, and
wherein, at the level of the end, the first and second internal faces are interconnected by a weld bead.
