Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a battery unit comprising at least two series-connected battery cells, wherein a discharge process of at least one battery cell is carried out via a connectable discharge resistor in order to equalize states of charge of the battery cells. According to the invention, the value of the discharge resistance is ascertained during the discharge process of the at least one battery cell, and the previously ascertained value of the discharge resistance is taken into account during a subsequent discharge process of the battery cell.
