An energy storage module arranged in a vehicle comprises an energy storage cell arranged in a casing, an inflatable element arranged between the casing and the energy storage cell and to at least partly cover a surface portion of the energy storage cell, and an inflating unit in communication with a detection unit arranged to determine a crash severity in the event of an accident for the vehicle. The inflating unit is arranged to inflate the inflatable element when the crash severity exceeds a predetermined threshold.
