1. A method of monitoring and controlling a voltage of at least one group of cells in a cell compound of an energy storage device in an onboard power supply system of a motor vehicle, comprising the acts of:

  • connecting a cell group logic to the group of cells by a supply line by which the group of cells is charged or discharged;

    monitoring with the cell group logic the voltage of the group of cells;

    controlling with the cell group logic charging or discharging of the group of cells, where the cell group logic takes energy from a rail line to charge the group of cells or feeds energy to the rail line from the group of cells; and

    conducting a data communication between the cell group logic and at least one of another cell group logic and a central logic on the rail line at voltage levels between an idle voltage level which is equal to or greater than a predetermined maximal voltage level below which the group of cells is charged or discharged.
