1. A monitoring device for monitoring a functional capability of an accumulator for electrical energy of a battery, comprising:
- an incorrect-position-detecting device configured to detect an incorrect position of the accumulator, the incorrect-position-detecting device including a memory device configured to store a duration of the incorrect position; and
a signal device configured to make available an incorrect position signal if (i) the duration of the incorrect position is longer than a predetermined minimum duration, or (ii) the duration of the incorrect position is equal to the predetermined minimum duration.

Abstract
In order to monitor a functional capability of an accumulator for electrical energy of a battery, at least one position sensor is provided which outputs a position signal which is representative of the position of the accumulator. If the duration of an incorrect position exceeds a minimum duration, an incorrect position signal is output by a monitoring device.
