  • Patent number: 11500036
    Abstract: A method for recognizing contacting errors in a rechargeable battery pack. Each rechargeable battery of the rechargeable battery pack is connected in parallel to at least one further rechargeable battery of the rechargeable battery pack. The method includes: applying at least one current to the rechargeable battery pack; ascertaining at least one voltage that is present at the rechargeable battery pack, as a function of the applied current; determining at least one parameter based on the ascertained voltage; and comparing the parameter to a comparison variable.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 15, 2022
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH

  • Patent number: 10336209
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for operating a battery, in particular a lithium ion battery, in a load. For this purpose, a determination (S10) is carried out of at least one operating parameter which describes the state of the battery or the load, a comparison (S20) of the at least one determined operating parameter with one reference value in each case in order to recognize whether a predefined state exists, and a discharge (S32) of the battery until the charge state of the battery lies below a specified critical charge state of the battery if it has been identified that the predefined state exists, wherein by discharging the battery, an energy store is charged by a discharge flow from the battery.
