Abstract

In the case of a method for determining a charge acceptance ICA of a rechargeable battery, the battery is computationally split up into a predetermined number n of compartments i having a respective maximum charge capacitance Ci, which are connected in parallel via resistances Ri, and the charge acceptance ICA of the battery is determined on the basis of the charge capacitance C1 and the resistance R1 of the compartment adjacent to the battery terminals. The invention also relates to a method for charging a rechargeable battery.
