  • Publication number: 20230358817
    Abstract: A method of determining an internal resistance of a rechargeable electrical energy storage includes: detecting a first voltage of the energy storage while a first current magnitude is drained from the energy storage; detecting a second voltage of the energy storage while a second current magnitude is drained from the energy storage, the second current magnitude being larger than the first current magnitude; implementing a periodic switch-over between the drain of the first current magnitude and the drain of the second current magnitude; and determining the internal resistance based on the detected first and second voltages, which are detected by the periodic switch-over between the first and second current magnitudes.

  • Patent number: 10914767
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a measuring arrangement for identifying a malfunction of an energy accumulator arrangement having a first energy accumulator and at least one further energy accumulator, the first energy accumulator and the further energy accumulator being electrically connected in parallel, comprising: a measuring device configured to capture a polarity of an electrical measurement variable of the first energy accumulator and a polarity of a further electrical measurement variable in the energy accumulator arrangement; and a processor device configured to identify the malfunction of the energy accumulator arrangement by comparing the polarity of the electrical measurement variable of the first energy accumulator and the polarity of the further electrical measurement variable.
