A battery cell () with two battery cell terminals () which are contactable from inside and/or outside the battery cell (), and an electrochemical part () comprising at least one separator. Upon the achievement of a predefined temperature, the at least one separator is at least partially impermeable to ions which can be generated in the electrochemical part (). The battery cell () has a rapid discharge unit (), which is connectable between the battery cell terminals () and which, in a switched-in and consequently activated state, has a predefined resistance value. The predefined resistance value is selected such that, with the rapid discharge unit () switched-in, the at least one separator achieves the predefined temperature.
