Abstract: A device for controlling a temperature of an electric energy store of a vehicle includes a first flow path which opens into a housing of the electric energy store and has an air conditioning system for air-conditioning a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The air conditioning system includes a heating and/or cooling device and a second flow path which leads from the at least one heating and/or cooling device into the passenger compartment. The two flow paths are connected in the device such that an airflow in one of the two flow paths is fluidically independent of an airflow in the respective other of the two flow paths. The device has a heat exchanger which is connected in the two flow paths for a pure heat exchange between the air flows in the two flow paths.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a battery cell (10), in particular a lithium-ion battery cell, having at least one wound or stacked electrode assembly (28) arranged in a housing, said electrode assembly comprising a first electrode layer (12), at least one separator layer (16) and a second electrode layer (14), and a non-aqueous electrolyte containing one or more solvents and one or more conductive salts. When the battery cell (10) reaches a critical state, a chemical substance or a chemical substance mixture (46) is released, which forms complexes with the lithium ions (22) in the electrolyte (26).

Abstract: The invention relates to a carrier assembly (1) for carrying and holding components for battery cells of a battery module, in particular for an electric vehicle, said carrier assembly comprising a non-conductive main body (2) and a plurality of electrical connection elements (3) for electrically connecting the battery cells to one another, said electrical connection elements (3) being arranged on the main body (2).

Abstract: A lithium ion battery cell includes a graphite cathode, and an excess pressure valve. The excess pressure valve is configured to open in the presence of a predetermined battery cell internal pressure and discharging gases that have been produced inside the battery cell. Such gases are discharged together with graphite particles entrained in the gas. The battery cell further includes a capacitance sensor that has at least one capacitor positioned in the battery cell and configured such that the graphite particles that are entrained in the gas that is being discharged deposit themselves at least in part in a gap that is located between two electrodes of the capacitor and cause a change in the dielectric value in the gap. The change in the dielectric value causes a change in a capacitance of the capacitor.

Abstract: A battery system, in particular a lithium-ion battery system, includes at least one degassing device that is configured to increase the safety of battery systems. The degassing device enables controlled discharging of substances from battery systems by discharging the substances with a volume flow that is dependent on a pressure prevailing in the interior of the degassing device.
