Abstract:
1. A battery sensor unit comprising: a fastening device configured to mate with a particular pole terminal of a motor vehicle battery; a plate-like carrier element electrically conductively connected to the fastening device; a planar measuring shunt that extends substantially parallel to the plate-like carrier element spaced apart from the plate-like carrier element, the planar measuring shunt comprising: a first free end region of the plate-like carrier element being cohesively and electrically conductively connected to the first resistance connection; a second free end region of the plate-like carrier element being connected to the second resistance connection in an electrically insulated manner, an electrically insulating spacer arranged between the second free end region of the plate-like carrier element and the second resistance connection, the electrically insulating spacer abutting a side of the second free end region of the plate-like carrier element and a side of the second resistance connection that face one another; and at least one releasable connection configured to releasably connect the electrically insulating spacer to at least one of the second free end region of the plate-like carrier element and the second resistance connection, wherein the at least one releasable connection is a latching connection.
