Abstract
A battery module for a battery system includes two terminals, via which the battery module can be electrically connected to the battery system. Furthermore, the battery module has a battery string, which connects the two terminals to one another and has at least one battery cell connected in series and/or in parallel with the battery string. The battery module comprises a battery module circuit, which is configured, upon receiving an alarm signal, to bridge the battery module via the terminals thereof. The at least one battery cell is connected to a monitoring circuit associated with the battery cell. The monitoring circuit is connected to an alarm line via an electrical connection. The alarm line is connected to an input of the battery module circuit.
