A battery includes a first battery cell including an endplate current collector cathode, an endplate current collector anode, a plurality of battery cell components between the endplate current collector cathode and the endplate current collector anode, each battery cell component including a cathode, a separator, an anode and a bipolar current collector, and at least one sense tab connected to and extending from one of the bipolar current collectors between the endplate current collector cathode and the endplate current collector anode. A second battery cell is connected in parallel to the first battery cell via the endplate current collector cathode and the endplate current collector anode. A voltmeter is connected between a first sense tab and one of the following: the endplate current collector cathode, endplate current collector anode or a second sense tab of the at least one sense tabs, the voltmeter being electrically isolated from at least one of the endplate current collector cathodes and the endplate current collector anodes via at least one battery cell component of the first battery cell and measuring at least two of the battery cell components. A battery cell, a method, an electric vehicle battery and an electric vehicle are also provided.
