  • Publication number: 20250239676
    Abstract: A method for cooling a battery of a motor vehicle, which includes multiple battery cells, by a cooling device through which a coolant can flow, as part of at least one cooling circuit through which the coolant can flow, which includes at least one coolant pump, which in an active state circulates the coolant present in at least one cooling circuit in the cooling circuit. In particular, a control device controls at least one coolant pump depending on a detection of a faul state which is connected to a thermal runaway of at least one of the battery cells of the battery, such that the at least one coolant pump is activated or continues to be operated in the active state when the faul state is detected.
