Abstract: A method controls the current output of a battery for driving a rail vehicle. A battery actual current Ibat,ist passes via a converter to an asynchronous motor, being a drive for the vehicle. The battery actual current Ibat,ist is set by control circuits as a function of a feedforward control torque Mff and a specified torque Mtf.
