  • Patent number: 10625610
    Abstract: A charging device for a motor vehicle with a high-voltage battery, wherein the charging device includes a supply unit that is designed to supply a transmission voltage (UT), and a connecting apparatus that is designed to connect the supply unit to the motor vehicle to charge the high-voltage battery, wherein the transmission voltage is a contact-safe transmission voltage (UT). The motor vehicle includes a converter unit that converts a contact-safe transmission voltage (UT) to a high-voltage charging voltage (UHV) for charging the high-voltage battery. When a charging arrangement formed from the charging device and the motor vehicle is operated, the connecting apparatus is automatically connected to the connector device and the contact-safe transmission voltage (UT) is converted to the high-voltage charging voltage (UHV) in order to charge the high-voltage battery.
