OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A battery arrangement, comprising a first battery unit and a second battery unit that is stacked in a stacking direction above the first battery unit, wherein a positioning element that extends in the stacking direction from the first battery unit to the second battery unit is provided for positioning the second battery unit relative to the first battery unit, wherein the positioning element is configured to be displaced in a plane that extends in the perpendicular direction with respect to the stacking direction, wherein the positioning element is fastened to an adaptor plate that extends in the perpendicular direction with respect to the stacking direction, wherein the adaptor plate is arranged moveable in the plane perpendicular to the stacking direction, and wherein the positioning element extends from the first battery unit through a positioning opening in a base element of the second battery unit in the direction of the second battery unit.
 
18. A battery arrangement, comprising a first battery unit and a second battery unit that is stacked in a stacking direction above the first battery unit, wherein a positioning element that extends in the stacking direction from the first battery unit to the second battery unit is provided for positioning the second battery unit relative to the first battery unit, wherein the positioning element is configured to be displaced in a plane that extends in the perpendicular direction with respect to the stacking direction, wherein the positioning element is fastened to an adaptor plate that extends in the perpendicular direction with respect to the stacking direction, wherein the adaptor plate is arranged moveable in the plane perpendicular to the stacking direction, wherein the adaptor plate is connected to the first battery unit by way of at least one connecting rail, wherein the at least one connecting rail is embodied in a bend-resistant manner in the stacking direction and is embodied in a flexible manner in the perpendicular direction with respect to the stacking direction.
