    Abstract: A testing method for a thermal contact between a temperature sensor and a battery cell of a battery module, includes measuring a temperature T1 of the temperature sensor at a time point t1, heating the temperature sensor for a defined time (t2−t1) and/or (t3−t1), measuring a temperature T2 of the temperature sensor at a time point t2 and/or a temperature T3 of the temperature sensor at a time point t3, and determining the thermal contact between the temperature sensor and the battery cell based on at least one of the temperature differences ΔT2,1=(T2−T1), ΔT3,1=(T3−T1) and ΔT3,2=(T3−T2) and a heat transfer coefficient determined thereby. Also, a testing circuit for a temperature sensor of a battery module includes a thermistor with a first node connected to a first supply voltage and a second node connected to ground, a switch interconnected between the first node of the thermistor and a second supply voltage, and an analog-to-digital converter connected in parallel to the thermistor. Also, a cell supervision circuit for a battery module including a circuit carrier, a testing circuit, and a temperature sensor surface mounted to the circuit carrier and having a measuring head with a thermistor configured to be brought into thermal contact with a battery cell of the battery module.

    Abstract: A power supply system for a battery system of a vehicle is provided. The power supply system includes: a switch control unit configured to control a power switch to switch an external load; an electronic unit; a first power supply electrically connected to the switch control unit and electrically connected to the electronic unit; a second power supply; and a switching unit. In a normal mode, the first power supply electrically supplies the electronic unit. The switching unit is configured to, in a cold crank mode: electrically disconnect the first power supply from the electronic unit when a voltage of the first power supply drops below a threshold voltage; and electrically connect the second power supply to the electronic unit when the voltage of the first power supply drops below the threshold voltage such that the second power supply powers the electronic unit in the cold crank mode.
