BATTERY COMPRISING A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL CELLS CONNECTED ELECTRICALLY TO ONE ANOTHER AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING, REPAIRING AND/OR OPTIMIZING SUCH A BATTERY

摘要

A battery includes a number of single cells interconnected in series and/or in parallel, the electrical poles of which for the electrical interconnection are connected to one another in a positive-fit and/or integrally bonded manner, directly or by means of cell connectors. The battery also includes a battery monitoring unit connected to the electrical poles and/or to the cell connectors in a positive-fit and/or integrally bonded manner. The electrical poles of the single cells, the cell connectors, and/or the battery monitoring unit have redundant contact areas for the positive-fit and/or integrally bonded connection. In each case only one of the contact areas which are redundant with one another is connected in a positive-fit and/or integrally bonded manner, and the further contact area(s) is/are not connected.
