Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a battery module (300) comprising a first charging terminal (203) and a second charging terminal (204) for connecting the battery module to an external power source (250) or a load (350). The battery module includes a battery cell arrangement (210) which has a maximum charge voltage and has a first terminal (201) and a second terminal (202). The first terminal (201) is connected to the first charging terminal (203). The battery module includes also a switch arrangement including at least a first switching device (240) connected between the second terminal (202) of the battery cell arrangement and the second charging terminal (204). The first switching device is operable to switch to a current passing state for discharging the battery module. The battery module also includes a controller (220) configured to control operation of the switch arrangement.

Abstract: A battery arrangement (100) and a method for operating a battery arrangement are provided. The battery arrangement comprises an identity reader (115) and a battery system (120). The identity reader is configured to obtain an identity from an identifier (110) fastened to an immobile object (150). The battery system is distinct from the immobile object. The battery arrangement is configured to disable at least part of the battery system in response to the identity reader being unable to obtain the identity. The method comprises monitoring a sensor for obtaining an identity from an identifier fastened to an immobile object and disabling at least part of the battery system in response to failure to obtain the identity. Accordingly, an anti-theft solution for a battery arrangement is provided.
