Abstract

A battery for a motor vehicle, in which electrical connections of a plurality of battery cells, are connected by at least one electrically conducting connection element. The battery cells have a galvanic element. The battery cells are connected so that a rated voltage is provided by the battery which is greater than the rated voltage of one of the battery cells. After connecting the electrical connection terminals of at least two battery cells, a switching element of one of the battery cells, arranged between an arrester of the galvanic element and one of the electrical connection terminals, is brought into a switching state in which an electrically conducting connection between an arrester of the galvanic element and at least one of the electrical connection terminals of the battery cell is produced.
