1. An interface system for mechanically decoupling an interface body and a cooling pipe of a cooling system for a battery cell or battery module of a vehicle, the interface system comprising:
a housing for a battery cell or a battery module, the housing comprising a part having an opening;
an inset having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side and being removably attached to the housing; and
an interface body having a first end, a second end, and a bore-hole with a first opening open to the first end and a second opening open to the second end,
wherein the inset has a recess in the second side to accommodate the interface body,
wherein the interface body is inserted into the inset such that the first end of the interface body is in the recess of the inset and the first end of the interface body is also inside the housing and surrounds an outer surface of an inlet of the cooling pipe,
wherein the inset is at least partially inserted into the part through the opening therein such that the first side of the inset is inside the housing,
wherein the first side of the inset has an opening open to the first opening of the bore-hole of the interface body,
wherein the inlet of the cooling pipe is arranged in the opening of the first side of the inset, and
wherein the first opening of the bore-hole through the interface body is configured to slidably receive the inlet of a cooling pipe, and the second opening of the bore-hole is configured to be connected, in a fluid-tight manner, with an external coolant supply or coolant discharge.
