  • Method and device for predicting the starting ability of a vehicle
    Patent number: 7528570
    Abstract: A device for predicting the starting ability of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine and a starter which is supplied with electrical power by a vehicle battery. The starting ability of the vehicle can be determined particularly easily when a starting current characteristics map is stored in a device of the prediction system from which a starting current is determined under consideration of the state of charge of the battery after a predefined time period and the starting ability of the vehicle is determined from this via a prediction device.
    Type: Grant
