Vehicle battery and vehicle battery pole clamp and system and method for a vehicle battery

Vehicle battery, vehicle battery pole clamp as well as a system for operating a vehicle. In the vehicle battery, an energy storage device is provided, wherein at least a first storage module 30 and a second storage module 32 each have an energy storage device. Within the storage modules 30, 32, storage cells 34 are connected in series for this purpose. In order to ensure that a drop in battery voltage in the starting case does not affect a consumer network, it is proposed that the storage modules 30, 32 are short-circuited with each other at a respective first output and that the storage modules 30, 32 are connected to each other at a respective second output that is electrically opposite in polarity to the first output via a switching element 38 arranged at least within the housing.
