  • Publication number: 20120313560
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-current battery system in which a high operating current flows, in particular for vehicle drives. The high-current battery system has a battery system monitoring electronics unit and a plurality of battery modules, each module including at least one rechargeable battery cell and being electrically connected in series by means of an operating current line such that an operating current flows through the operating current line during operation. At least one of the battery modules is designed as a bypass battery module which comprises a bypass switch and a bypass line, which are designed and disposed such that the battery module is electrically bridged by the bypass line after the bypass switch is switched from a normal operating position into a bypass position, so that the operating current flows through the bypass line.

  • Publication number: 20100062341
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rechargeable electrochemical battery cell having a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a positive electrode. The negative electrode comprises an electronically conductive substrate (12) at which an active metal (24) of the negative electrode is deposited by electrolysis during the charging of the cell. A porous structure (13) that contains the active mass (17) of the positive electrode is arranged in the vicinity of the substrate (12) of the negative electrode (5) in such a manner that the active metal (17) of the negative electrode that is deposited during the charging of the cell (3) penetrates into the pores (14) of the porous structure (13) comprising the active mass of the positive electrode and is deposited further therein, at least in part, in metallic form.
