The invention relates to an energy storage module (10) comprising a plurality of energy storage assemblies (100) positioned side by side, and a rigid enclosure (12) intended for surrounding the storage assemblies, each assembly including at least one side wall closed at each end by an end surface, wherein the storage assemblies are electrically connected in pairs by conductive strips (110) extending over at least one end surface of each assembly, the strips being arranged such that one strip connects a first end surface of at least one predetermined assembly to an end surface of a first adjacent assembly and a second strip connects a second surface of the predetermined assembly to an end surface of a second adjacent assembly. The module also includes at least one electrically insulating member (120), made of an electrically insulating material and comprising a bottom (122) and a rim (124) extending essentially perpendicular to the bottom and surrounding same, each electrically insulating member (120) being associated with a strip (110) and fitted onto the end surfaces of two adjacent assemblies connected by the strip such that the bottom is parallel to the end surfaces and the rim runs alongside the side walls of the two assemblies while overlapping same over at least a portion of the height thereof.
