Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for investigating an ageing condition of a battery (10) which is provided for power supply to an electric motor (20), comprising the steps of: determining at least one graphical progression of at least one operating parameter of the battery (10), checking the at least one graphical progression on at least one sinusoidal curve portion, if at least one sinusoidal curve portion is recognised, extracting the at least one sinusoidal curve portion, calculating an impedance of the battery (10) by means of impedance spectroscopy with reference to the at least one sinusoidal curve portion, and determining the ageing condition of the battery (10) with reference to the calculated impedance. The invention further relates to a computer program (30), a memory means, a control device (40) and a vehicle (100).

Abstract: A method for determining an ageing parameter KSOH of a rechargeable battery, especially a lithium rechargeable battery, featuring the steps (a) detecting an impedance Z of the rechargeable battery at different frequencies f, so that a Nyquist plot and a real part path, which plots a real part of the impedance Z against the frequency f, are obtained, determining at least one of the following SOH parameters, which can be selected from a predetermined list, establishing an SOH row vector {right arrow over (PSOH)} from the SOH parameters and all mixed terms of the form pSOH,m·pSOH,n, m=1, . . . , 11, n=1, . . . , m. The invention provides for the multiplication of the SOH row vector {right arrow over (PSOH)} by a saved calibration vector {right arrow over (ASOH)}, thereby obtaining the ageing parameter KSOH.
