Abstract

A motor vehicle, in particular an at least partly electrically driven motor vehicle, has a battery device with at least one battery cell. The battery device is arranged in a floor region of the motor vehicle and has a protective device for protecting the battery device from mechanical action. The protective device has a protective plate, which is arranged in such a way that it covers the battery device at least in some regions, so that any mechanical actions are absorbed by the protective plate. The protective device also has an acoustic monitoring device, which monitors the protective plate acoustically and with which a signal can be output when a noise characteristic of a mechanical impairment of the protective plate is registered. Also disclosed is a method for monitoring the protective device.
