1. A force measurement module for determining of a force when installing a battery module into a battery housing, the force measurement module comprising:
a module housing having a shape and a plurality of external dimensions substantially similar to the battery module;
at least one force sensor arranged in the module housing and configured to generate a force sensor signal based on a force acting on the force measurement module; and
a data processing unit disposed within the module housing configured to determine the force acting on the force measurement module when installing the module housing into the battery housing based on the force sensor signal.
