Abstract
A battery includes at least one battery cell in a battery cell housing and includes a housing cover having a monitoring circuit. An electrode of the at least one battery cell is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the battery cell housing via a switching mechanism in the monitoring circuit. The monitoring circuit is configured to open the switching mechanism when a malfunction signal is detected. The switching mechanism is closed during normal operation. Separate contacts provide contact to the cell housing in a module assembly and the electrode is disconnectable from the battery cell housing.
