NOVELTY - The method involves acquiring position data of an electrochemical cell (S1a) and/or acquiring parameter data of a cell (S1b) by using a sensor. The acquired position and/or parameter data are wirelessly transmitted (S2a, S2b) to a cell controller by a wireless signal transmission unit e.g. radio frequency identification (RFID) device. Control instructions are output (S4) by the cell controller when the transmitted position data comprises a predefined decision value and/or the transmitted parameter data comprises a predefined threshold value.    USE - Method for controlling and handling an electrochemical cell e.g. galvanic cell and fuel cell, of an electrochemical energy storage device i.e. battery, for use in a motor car (claimed). Can also be used for an electrically-driven vehicle and a stationary application.    ADVANTAGE - The control instructions are output by the cell controller when the transmitted position data comprises the predefined decision value and/or the transmitted parameter data comprises the predefined threshold value, so that necessary actions can be performed during acquisition of incorrect position of the electrochemical cell to prevent damages of the cell without a user intervention, thus enables controlling and handling of the cell in a simple manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The parameter data is selected from data related to a state of charge of the electrochemical cell, temperature of the electrochemical cell, voltage of the electrochemical cell and pressure in the electrochemical cell.
