Abstract: The disclosure relates to a safety system for a battery electric vehicle (BEV) that comprises one or more electromotors powered by a battery system, wherein the safety system allows a “limp home mode” to be activated. The disclosure further relates to a battery electric vehicle provided with such a safety system. The battery system of the electric vehicle preferably is the sole power supply of the vehicle for powering the one or more electromotors for a prolonged period of time, e.g. a period of time greater than 10 minutes.

Abstract: A method for operating a battery system with a plurality of cells, a battery system, a vehicle including such a battery system and a computer program element for operating such a battery system. The method for operating a battery system includes monitoring a state of health of each of the plurality of cells, detecting at least one malfunctioning cell, analysing the state of health of the malfunctioning cell, limiting a discharge power over a time period if the malfunctioning cell has a worst state of health in the battery system or limiting a charge power over a time period if the malfunctioning cell has a best state of health in the battery system, and reducing a minimum state of charge of the battery system over the time period.
