1. A battery for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a plurality of battery cells and a housing, wherein the battery cells are arranged within the housing and configured for storing energy and discharging electrical energy,
wherein the housing comprises at least a first housing element and a second housing element, wherein the first housing element and the second housing element are fixedly connected to each other, wherein the first housing element and the second housing element each comprise a base surface and two lateral surfaces extending from the base surface,
wherein, for each housing element, the base surface is arranged between the lateral surfaces to define an interior region of the housing element,
wherein, for each housing element, a first distance by which the lateral surfaces extend away from the base surface is greater than a second distance by which the lateral surfaces are spaced apart from each other,
wherein the two lateral surfaces of the second housing element are at a larger distance from each other than the distance between the two lateral surfaces of the first housing element,
wherein the first housing element is nested inside of the second housing element,
wherein the base surface of the first housing element extends outside of the interior region of the second housing element, while the two lateral surfaces of the first housing element extend inside the interior region of the second housing element, and
wherein the two lateral surfaces of the first housing element and the second housing element are bonded to each other via an adhesive film.
