Abstract

A method is described for manufacturing a battery sensor unit, in particular a battery sensor unit for a motor vehicle battery, comprising a cable holder for a cable end of a cable. The method includes sliding a sleeve composed of a resistor material onto the cable end, at least one first measuring tap being installed between the cable end and an inner circumference of the sleeve. The cable end provided with the sleeve and the measuring tap is inserted into the cable holder and is permanently connected thereto to form a measuring device. A battery sensor unit is described having a fastening device for fastening the battery sensor unit to a contact of a battery, in particular a motor vehicle battery, and having a measuring device for detecting the state of the battery. The measuring device includes a cable end of a cable, a sleeve that is composed of a resistor material and encloses the cable end, at least one first measuring tap, which is installed between an inner circumference of the sleeve and the cable end, and a cable holder which accommodates the sleeve in a permanent connection.
