Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for connecting multiple battery cells () of a battery (), wherein the multiple battery cells () can be connected in series to one another, and a single first control variable Pand a single second control variable Pare predefined for all the battery cells (). In this context, in order to generate a desired output voltage of the battery (), each battery cell () is electrically coupled to the battery () with a corresponding first probability, defined as a function of the first control variable P, and in each case electrically decoupled from the battery () with a corresponding second probability, defined as a function of the second control variable P. In addition, a value of the first control variable Pand a value of the second control variable Pare respectively predefined repeatedly with an update frequency which is dependent on the desired output voltage of the battery () which is to be generated.
