Abstract: The present invention relates to a battery, in the form of a high-voltage battery (HV battery), comprising at least the following battery elements: a cell compartment with a plurality of cell modules and associated cell measurement boards, a main control unit with a main board, a main microprocessor and a plurality of microelectronic/electronic elements, a switch box comprising two contactors for a positive HV line and a negative HV line, where a pressure sensor is provided for measuring pressure in the battery interior, and this pressure sensor is arranged outside the main board at one of the following locations: in the switch box, on a central secondary board, and/or on at least one cell measurement board.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a control system for use in a bus system having at least two transmission lines, having a first control device which has a first termination path and a first terminating resistor connected to the first termination path, a second control device which has a second termination path and a second terminating resistor connected to the second termination path, a first connector which is adapted to connect the first control device to the transmission lines and therefore to integrate the first control device in the bus system, a second connector which is adapted to connect the second control device to the transmission lines and therefore to integrate the second control device in the bus system, wherein the first connector and the second connector are different to one another. The invention also relates to a connector for connecting a control device to transmission lines of a bus system.
