A battery management system for a high-voltage battery of a motor vehicle monitors battery cells of the high-voltage battery. The battery management system can be arranged in a battery housing of the high-voltage battery and has an electronic circuit which is arranged on a circuit carrier and has a processor and a communication interface for communication with at least one vehicle-side unit external to the high-voltage battery. The electronic circuit has at least one pressure sensor, which is designed to detect pressure signals in the battery housing and transmit same to the processor. The processor is designed to detect, on the basis of the transmitted pressure signals, a thermal runaway of at least one battery cell of the high-voltage battery, to generate a signal in the event that a thermal runaway is detected, and to provide the signal of the communication interface for transmission to the unit.

A traction battery for a motor vehicle includes a plurality of battery cells which are electrically connected to one another, a battery housing which houses the battery cells, several degassing elements for conducting gas away out of the battery housing in the case of a cell outgassing, a sensing system for localizing the cell outgassing, and a control unit which, in the case of a cell outgassing, actuates the degassing elements such that the degassing element situated nearest the cell outgassing remains closed and one or more of the degassing elements that are farther away from the cell outgassing is/are opened.

A detection device detects a mechanical deformation of a high-voltage accumulator of a motor vehicle, and includes: a sensor element, which senses an electrical measurement variable, wherein the sensor element is substantially flat and is attached at least partially to a first component of the high-voltage accumulator; and an evaluation device for analyzing the electrical measurement variable between the sensor element and a second component of the high-voltage accumulator and for outputting a corresponding warning on the basis of the electrical measurement variable, wherein at least one region of the surface of the second component is electrically conductive.
