1. A battery module for a partially or fully electrically operated vehicle, said battery module comprising:
at least one battery housing having a main body defining at least one battery cell stack receiving channel having an inner surface that terminates at at least one open end;
at least one battery cell stack disposed within the battery cell stack receiving channel of the main body, the battery cell stack including a carrier plate fixed to one end of the battery cell stack and positioned adjacent at least at one end of the main body, wherein the battery cell stack is configured to be introduced into the battery cell stack receiving channel of the main body such that the carrier plate substantially closes off the open end of the main body and a side surface of the carrier plate faces the inner surface of the battery cell stack receiving channel; and
a peripheral seal mounted on the carrier plate and extending in an intermediate space disposed between the carrier plate and the inner surface of the main body, which peripheral seal projects from the carrier plate and bears at least partially against the inner surface of the main body,
wherein the seal is of gas-permeable form, such that, upon introducing a fluid into the intermediate space between the battery cell stack and the inner surface of the battery cell stack receiving channel of the main body, displaced air can escape from the main body through the seal.
