English term or phrase: open cell
If the battery is bad and has an open cell, no LEDs will light up.

I found so far that an open cell will show a high voltage under charge or discharge.
In the same text I translate a shorted cell appears as another defect. I am quite that this translated with Zellenschluss. But I couldn't find anything for the open cell. Thanks for your help

German translation:offene Zelle
Explanation:
Eine „shorted cell“ würde ich als „kurzgeschlossene Zelle“ oder „Zelle mit Kurzschluss“ übersetzen. Siehe Web-Referenzen.

Thanks for your help. I decided to go with offene Zelle although I am not 100 % sure, because I couldn't find many sites including both "Batterie" and "offene Zelle", but hopefully it will make sense in the context.
