A device is introduced for cell-balancing a plurality of battery cells connected in series. The device includes a measuring device which is connectable to each of the battery cells and which is configured to generate a current which is proportional to a minimum cell voltage of all the cell voltages of the battery cells and to output the current to resistors which are connected in series. The device also contains a multiplicity of comparators which compare a cell voltage of an assigned battery cell to the minimum cell voltage which is replicated by the current which is proportional to the minimum cell voltage and the resistors. The comparators are configured to output a control signal, which is dependent on a result of the comparison, to an assigned discharging unit which allows a discharge current to flow from the respective battery cell as a function of the control signal.
