  • Patent number: 10601020
    Abstract: A battery cell includes a membrane configured to curve outwards when pressure inside the battery cell increases, thereby creating an electrically conductive connection between two poles. A conductor is arranged on an outside of the membrane and is connected to the battery cell such that the outward-curving membrane lifts the conductor from the membrane on one side such that the poles are electrically connected to one another via the conductor.

  • Patent number: 10312562
    Abstract: A metal-oxygen battery system, in particular a lithium-oxygen battery system, includes at least one battery cell, in particular a lithium-oxygen cell, including an oxygen cathode, a metal anode, and a metal ion-conducting separator situated between the cathode and the anode. To increase the current carrying capacity, the battery system also includes a turbomachine system which is connected to the oxygen cathode in a gas-conducting manner and which may be switched over between a suction function and a blowing function, and/or an exhaust gas supply line for supplying a gas low in oxygen to the oxygen cathode. Also described is a corresponding operating method.
