Abstract

The invention relates to a method (40) for operating a battery arrangement (14) of a motor vehicle (10), in particular a traction battery of the motor vehicle (10), wherein expected environmental conditions and/or use parameters of the motor vehicle (10) are determined (42), wherein an expected withdrawal of energy from an electrical energy store of the battery arrangement (14) is determined (44), wherein a heat loss of the battery arrangement (14) is calculated (46) on the basis of the expected withdrawal of energy, wherein a temperature profile (30) of the battery arrangement (14) is predicted (48) on the basis of the calculated heat loss and the expected environmental conditions and/or use parameters, and wherein a temperature of the battery arrangement (14) is set (54) on the basis of the predicted temperature profile (30).
