Abstract

A battery system, a vehicle having a battery system, and a method for operating a battery system. The battery system has a plurality of cells, a load circuit, a current sensor to detect current flowing in the load circuit, a pre-charging circuit to limit the current flowing through the load circuit, a disconnecting apparatus in a load circuit section of the load circuit, the load circuit section being bypassed by the pre-charging circuit, a first consumer circuit and a second consumer circuit arranged in parallel with one another and connected to the load circuit, a first fuse assigned to the first consumer circuit, a second fuse assigned to the second consumer circuit and an electronics unit to evaluate signals of the current sensor and which determines whether at least one of the first fuse and the second fuse has blown based on signals of the current sensor.
