Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for charging an energy storage device in a vehicle using a power supply, the method comprising: determining a first voltage output from the power supply; starting charging; determining a second voltage output from the power supply; determining a first voltage difference based on a difference between the second voltage and the first voltage; after a predetermined time, aborting charging; determining a third voltage output from the power supply; starting charging; determining a fourth voltage output from the power supply; determining a second voltage difference based on a difference between the fourth voltage and the third voltage; determining a deviation value based on a difference between the second difference and the first difference; and based on the deviation value, controlling a charging parameter.
