A battery includes a battery body and at least one terminal protruding from an outside surface of the battery body. The terminal is electrically conductively connected to one of the battery poles. The battery further includes at least one electrically conductive bending lug, which is electrically conductive, connected via the terminal to the battery pole. The bending lug has a length that is greater than a distance of the longitudinal axis of the terminal from the point of penetration through the outside surface up to a lateral edge of the outside surface.
