Abstract
A method for detecting an internal short circuit in a first electrical energy storage unit of an electrical energy storage device is described, wherein the electrical energy storage device comprises at least two electrical energy storage units including a first electrical energy storage unit and a second electrical energy storage unit electrically connected in parallel in the electrical energy storage device, the method including recording an electric current flowing into or out of the first electrical energy storage unit, recording an electric current flowing into or out of the second electrical energy storage unit, determining a short-circuit current in the first electrical energy storage unit based on the at least two recorded electric currents, and detecting an internal short circuit when the magnitude of the short-circuit current exceeding a predefined short-circuit current threshold.
