Abstract

A method for monitoring a state variable of at least one battery cell of a battery. The battery has at least two battery cells that are arranged adjacent to one another. A first electrically conductive surface is provided at a boundary surface of a first battery cell and a second electrically conductive surface is provided at a boundary surface of a second battery cell. The electrically conductive surfaces are arranged electrically insulated from each other. An electrical voltage is applied between the two electrically conductive surfaces. An electrical variable produced due to an effect of the electrical voltage is analyzed. The state variable on the basis of the analysis is determined.
