Abstract: The device (10) is connected to AC supply (12). The device (10) is also connected to a charger that may charge a battery. The device (10) detects an AC current and AC voltage when the charging operation is ongoing and/or interrupted. Based on the detected AC voltage and AC current, the device (10) determines an active power. The device (10) may also obtain electrical characteristics of the charger. Based on the active power, the device (10) may determine a DC charging current taking place at the charger charging the battery. The characteristics of the charger may be utilized when determining this. Consequently, the device (10) can determine a currently used DC charging current of the charger. The device (10) uses an algorithm to determine an appropriate point of time for disconnecting the AC output for disconnecting the charging operation. The device (10) inspects the charging current in a stepwise procedure.
