  • Publication number: 20220413065
    Abstract: A method for recognizing the breakdown of an energy reserve device of at least two energy reserve devices of a device for protecting the occupants of a vehicle. The method includes: charging the at least two energy reserve devices to a test voltage level; ascertaining an ambient temperature of the at least two energy reserve devices; acquiring the (overall) capacitance of the at least two energy reserve devices; recognizing the breakdown of an energy reserve device as a function of a floating mean value, which is a function of the ascertained ambient temperature, for the (overall) capacitance and of the acquired (overall) capacitance; updating a floating mean value as a function of the ascertained ambient temperature and the acquired overall capacitance.

  • Patent number: 11479197
    Abstract: A method to charge a personal-protection-device energy store for operating a personal protection device of a vehicle. The method includes a step of reading in a voltage value of a source energy store of the vehicle. In addition, the method includes a step of ascertaining a charging current for charging the personal-protection-device energy store with power from the source energy store, the charging current being ascertained, using the voltage value read in; and using the charging current for charging the personal-protection-device energy store.
