1. A method for mounting a battery housing for constructing a drive battery system for a vehicle, the battery housing comprising a first housing portion and a second housing portion that are to be secured to each other in a connection region with a seal provided therebetween, the first housing portion having a seal receiving portion in the connection region, and the seal receiving portion predetermining a location and a position of the seal in the connection region, the method comprising:
fitting the seal to an auxiliary assembly member so that the seal is retained by the auxiliary assembly member at least temporarily in a configuration which corresponds to a final assembly configuration of the seal on the seal receiving portion or to an intermediate configuration, wherein the auxiliary assembly member comprises a mounting frame or a mounting plate, and the fitting of the seal to the auxiliary assembly member comprises pulling the seal onto the mounting frame or the mounting plate;
arranging the auxiliary assembly member together with the seal that is fitted thereto on the first housing portion so that the seal is located in the seal receiving portion; and
connecting the first housing portion and the second housing portion while the seal is located between the first and second housing portions in a state retained in the final assembly configuration thereof by the auxiliary assembly member.
