Abstract
A method for determining the wear to an electrochemical energy store and an electrochemical energy store allows for continuously determining the amounts of charge (qL) converted during charging cycles of the energy store and calculating a wear variable (Qv) which characterizes the wear as a function of the determined converted amount of charge (qL).
Claims15
A method for determining the wear to an electrochemical energy store, comprising:
- continuously determining the amounts of charge (qL) converted during charging cycles of the energy store;
- and
- calculating a wear variable (Qv) which characterizes the wear as a function of the determined converted amount of charge (qL).
An energy store, in particular a starter battery for motor vehicles, comprising:
- measurement means for determining the amounts of charge (qL) converted during charging cycles of the energy store;
- and
- computation means designed to calculate a wear variable (Qv) which characterizes the loss of storage capacity as a function of the determined amount of charge (qL) converted.
