The present invention relates to a
battery system (100) comprising a battery (101) designed to supply at least two consumers (140, 141) connected in parallel of a high-
voltage network (103), which battery is connected at one of the high-
voltage tes (130, 131) thereof to at least two fuses (110, 111). In this way, in each case, one of the at least two fuses (110, 111) is assigned to one of the at least two consumers (140, 141) and can be connected to the assigned
consumer (140, 141). The
battery system (100) comprises at least one switching unit (155) with two switching states. In one state of the switching unit, in which the at least two consumers (140, 141) are connected to the high-
voltage terminals (130, 131) of the battery (101), said switching unit switches into a first switching state of the two switching states upon application of an operating current flowing across the assigned
consumer (140, 141), said operating current also flowing through each fuse (110, 111), and upon triggering one of the at least two fuses (110, 111), switches from the first switching state into a second switching state of the two switching states, in which second switching state the at least one switching unit interrupts residual current flowing across the battery (101), the high-voltage terminals (130, 131) of the battery (101) and each
consumer (140, 141) whose assigned fuse (110, 111) has not triggered, and / or switches off any
residual voltage applied from the battery (101) across the high-voltage terminals (130, 131) of the battery (101) and a non-triggered fuse (110, 111) to the high-voltage network (103).
