A device for temperature-controlling a vehicle battery in an electric or hybrid vehicle may include a coolant circuit, a refrigerant circuit, and a first valve device. The vehicle battery, a coolant cooler, a coolant pump, and a chiller may be arranged in the coolant circuit. The chiller, a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator may be arranged in the refrigerant circuit. The first valve device may be arranged indirectly on the chiller. A coolant flow may be dividable between the chiller and the coolant cooler via the first valve device.
