Abstract

A battery for a motor vehicle with at least two adjacently arranged battery cells. A boundary surface of a first one of the at least two battery cells has a first electrically conductive surface coupled to a first actuating device and a boundary surface of a second one of the at least two battery cells has a second electrically conductive surface coupled to a second actuating device. The two electrically conductive surfaces are arranged electrically insulated from one another and form a capacitor element. The actuating devices are designed to transfer energy between the first of the at least two battery cells and the second of the at least two battery cells by generating an alternating electric field in the capacitor element.
