Abstract: A battery cell (10) with two battery cell terminals (11, 12) which are contactable from inside and/or outside the battery cell (10), and an electrochemical part (20) comprising at least one separator. Upon the achievement of a predefined temperature, the at least one separator is at least partially impermeable to ions which can be generated in the electrochemical part (20). The battery cell (10) has a rapid discharge unit (30), which is connectable between the battery cell terminals (11, 12) and which, in a switched-in and consequently activated state, has a predefined resistance value. The predefined resistance value is selected such that, with the rapid discharge unit (30) switched-in, the at least one separator achieves the predefined temperature.

Abstract: A discharge control device for controlling discharge in an energy storage device disposed in an electric apparatus, wherein the discharge control device includes a first determination unit adapted to determine whether or not an electric apparatus's status is being outside a predetermined first range and a discharge controller adapted to start discharge in the energy storage device, when the first determination unit determines that the status of the electric apparatus is being outside the first range.

Abstract: A lithium-ion battery comprising at least one battery cell (2), the battery cell (2) in each case comprising a negative electrode (21), a positive electrode (22), an electrolyte composition (15), and a separator (18), characterized in that the lithium-ion battery further comprises at least one fast discharge device (61) and the surface of the negative and/or of the positive electrode (21, 22) is coated with a material which has an electrical resistance of more than 0 ?cm2 and a lithium-ion conductivity of more than 0 S/cm and which has a solubility of less than 1 g/L in the electrolyte composition (15) under the operating conditions of the lithium-ion battery.
