Method for controlling the temperature of at least one battery element, battery and motor vehicle with such a battery

A battery, comprising:

• a module configured to implement a method for controlling the temperature of the battery, the method including:
• specifying a temperature value;
• determining a cooling characteristic of at least one battery element of the battery starting at a first temperature;
• determining a first point in time tmin at which the battery temperature reaches the temperature value or has fallen below the temperature value by analysis of the cooling characteristic;
• determining a second point in time t_end for a start of charging or discharging of the at least one battery element;
• and
• if tmin <t_end, applying heat to the at least one battery element such that the battery temperature at the second point in time t_end is higher than or equal to the temperature value.

A motor vehicle, comprising:

• an electrical drive motor configured to drive the motor vehicle;
• and
• a battery configured to be connected to the electrical drive motor, the battery including:
• a module configured to implement a method for controlling the temperature of the battery, the method including:
• specifying a temperature value;
• determining a cooling characteristic of at least one battery element of the battery starting at a first temperature;
• determining a first point in time tmin at which the battery temperature reaches the temperature value or has fallen below the temperature value by analysis of the cooling characteristic;
• determining a second point in time t_end for a start of charging or discharging of the at least one battery element;
• and
• if tmin <t_end, applying heat to the at least one battery element such that the battery temperature at the second point in time t_end is higher than or equal to the temperature value.
