A method is provided for transmitting measured data from cells of a battery system, having a plurality of individual cells, to a control device, comprising the steps of identifying a first individual cell for which measured data are to be furnished at a first measured-data quality; identifying at least one further individual cell or which measured data are to be furnished at a second measured-data quality; the first measured-data quality being higher than the second measured-data quality; identifying the first-quality measured data; identifying the second-quality measured data; transferring the first-quality measured data to a control device using a data connection; and transferring the second-quality measured data after the first-quality measured data have been transferred.
