A mobile discharge device for a battery includes a first electrical connection configured to make contact with a first electrical terminal of the battery, a second electrical connection configured to make contact with a second electrical terminal of the battery, and an electrical resistor electrically connected firstly to the first electrical connection and secondly to the second electrical connection. The discharge device further includes a first fluid connection for connecting a fluid supply, a second fluid connection for connecting a fluid discharge line, and a fluid channel connected to the first fluid connection and the second fluid connection. The fluid channel is thermally coupled to the electrical resistor.
