A high-voltage battery for a motor vehicle having at least one storage element for electrical energy, at least one control unit operating at a voltage lower than the high voltage. A modular unit including at least one switching mechanism and/or at least one fuse as electrical components, wherein the modular unit is attached in a pre-determined position to a housing, externally to this housing that holds the storage element and the control unit, in such a way that when the modular unit is plugged in on the housing, at least two high-voltage contacts of the modular unit, which are connected to at least one of the electrical components of the modular unit, are connected in an electrically conducting manner to assigned high-voltage contacts on the housing side, and at least one contact arrangement of the modular unit.
