A method for identifying a measure that is not provided for by a manufacturer on or using a removable battery pack having at least one energy storage cell and a monitoring unit, the method comprising:
- detecting and storing a voltage of the removable battery pack and/or a cell voltage of the at least one energy storage cell using the monitoring unit before the monitoring unit is set to a quiescent state or when the removable battery pack is in a state other than a charging operating state;
- and
- comparing the detected voltage of the removable battery pack and/or the detected cell voltage with a previously-stored voltage of the removable battery pack or a previously-stored cell voltage using the monitoring unit when the monitoring unit is set to an operating state or when the removable battery pack is in the state other than the charging operating state.
