Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for measuring a battery current of a battery. The device has a measuring distance, over which the entire battery current to be measured flows during the measurement. A measuring device measures a voltage drop across the measuring distance. On the basis of the measured voltage drop and a resistance of the measuring distance, a current determining device determines the battery current, wherein the measuring distance is formed by at least part of a cable with a temperature-dependent resistor.
