Abstract

A safety system for vehicles for reducing the danger of an electric shock from a battery is described, wherein the safety system is arranged on the outside of the vehicle and has an operator control area and a charging plug-in location with an operating plug. It is characteristic that the operating plug and the charging plug-in location are combined with one another outside the vehicle and are embodied in such a way that removing the operating plug causes the voltage of the vehicle to be disconnected. In addition, the disclosure relates to a motor vehicle which contains such a battery and to a method for reducing the danger of an electric shock from a battery, which method serves to implement the battery according to the disclosure.
