The invention relates to a sealing plug arrangement (1, 2) for a battery, wherein the sealing plug arrangement comprises at least one plug part (1) and a plug retainer (2), and the plug retainer (2) has a hollow area (4) for accommodating at least one retaining section of the plug part (1), wherein the plug part (1) is designed to seal off at least one interior (73, 74) of the battery from the environment when the plug part is installed in the hollow area (4) of the plug retainer (2). Proceeding from this, an improved sealing plug arrangement is specified that can be realized at low cost and that is reliable. For this purpose, the plug retainer (2) comprises at least one flow channel (6) on the inside of the plug retainer in the hollow area (4), which flow channel extends at least along the area in which the plug part (1) is retained in the plug retainer (2) when the plug part is installed in the hollow area (4).
