  • Patent number: 8981683
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a high power battery system having a battery system monitoring electronics and battery modules being electrically connected in series via an operating current line. At least one battery module is a bypass battery module comprising a bypass switch and a bypass line for electrically bypassing the battery module. For each bypass battery module a module monitoring unit of the monitoring electronics monitors the assigned battery module and detects a fault state. In the fault state, the battery system monitoring electronics measures the current flow in the operating current line connecting the battery modules and switches the bypass switch of the bypass battery module concerned from a normal operating position to a bypass position at a time when the current flow in the operating current line is lower than a predetermined limit value.

  • Patent number: 7901811
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rechargeable electrochemical battery cell. Said cell comprises a negative electrode (5), an electrolyte (19), and a positive electrode, the negative electrode (5) having a an electronically conductive substrate (14), onto which an active mass (15) is electrolytically deposited during the charging of the cell. The aim of the invention is to significantly improve the operational safety of said cell. To achieve this, the cell in contact with the substrate (14)of the negative electrode (5) has a porous structure (16)formed by solid particles (17), which is configured and positioned in such a way that the active mass (15), which is deposited during the charging of the cell, penetrates from the surface of the substrate (14) into the pores (18) of the latter and is deposited again therein.
