Abstract
A battery bridge for an electronic device, preferably for an electronic implant, has an electrically conductive first contact element, an electrically conductive second contact element and an insulator. The first contact element and the second contact element comprise a weldable material. In a first state of the battery bridge, the first contact element is distanced from the second contact element via a predefined air gap and the first contact element is electrically insulated from the second contact element by the air gap and the insulator. The battery bridge is formed in such a way that it can be transferred, by welding the first contact element and the second contact element together, into a second state, in which the air gap between the first contact element and the second contact element is closed electrically conductively, at least in part. A method for activating such an electronic device is also disclosed.
