A battery housing to hold a battery module, wherein the battery housing includes a housing bottom, wherein the housing bottom comprises at least one injection opening, through which a thermally conductive material can be injected by means of an injection device into the battery housing in a first direction through the housing bottom, wherein the battery housing includes an elastically compressible sealing element, which is arranged in the area of the at least one injection opening, and is designed to close the at least one injection opening, wherein the sealing element is designed to open up the injection opening by elastic compression of the sealing element as of a predetermined injection force (Fi) acting in the first direction during the injecting of the thermally conductive material, and to close the injection opening once more by expanding of the sealing element in absence of the injection force (Fi).
