Abstract

The invention claims a process and device for ensuring the operational readiness of a battery in which the battery is first electrically connected with a testing device, and is then tested with the testing device to determine whether the battery is passivated. If the battery is passivated, a procedure for de-passivation of the battery is performed. If the battery is not passivated, a point in time for the next testing of the battery is scheduled.
