  • Publication number: 20180009328
    Abstract: A battery with at least two battery cells, which are connected by at least one electric connection element to one another, and a superordinate control device. Each of the battery cells is provided with at least one galvanic element, a battery cell housing for accommodating the galvanic element, at least one sensor device for detecting a physical and/or chemical feature of the battery cell, and a communication device for communicating with the superordinate device. The superordinate device is adapted to control an energy flow in at least one of the battery cells and/or from at least one of the battery cells as a function of the physical and/or chemical features of the battery cell. The invention further also relates to a motor vehicle with such a battery.

  • Patent number: 9538362
    Abstract: In a method for wireless exchange of device data between a control unit of a motor vehicle and a vehicle-external computing device, a mobile radio connection is established between a mobile radio module of the motor vehicle and a mobile radio cell of a radio station coupled with the computing device. The device data are transmitted via the mobile radio connection. The radio station provides a private mobile radio cell which is different from all mobile radio cells of public mobile radio networks able to reach the motor vehicle. To establish the mobile radio connection in the motor vehicle, the mobile radio module is reconfigured for registering with the private mobile radio cell by using a SIM card.
