  • Publication number: 20240044993
    Abstract: A method is provided for type-dependent determination of a state of health or a state variable corresponding to a state of health, of a battery pack for supplying an electrically powered processing device with electric drive power. The battery pack and a charging device are mutually coupleable for the supply of the battery pack with the electric charging power. The charging device is from a set of different types of charging devices. The method recognizes a type of the coupled charging device, particularly by way of the battery pack, and determines the state of health or the state variable in dependence of the type thus recognized, particularly by way of the battery pack.
