Method for compensating for measuring error in detecting current in an energy storing means

A method for compensating for measuring error in detecting current in an energy storing means (1), in which the detecting current is done via a first current converter (9) for low currents and via a second current converter (10) for higher currents, and the converter values (14), (15) are converted in an electronic evaluation unit (13) into measured values (17), characterized in that the measured values of the battery current (6) are measured with both current converters (9), (10) simultaneously upon reaching threshold (24), and from this measurement the offset (27) of one current converter (10) is determined and corrected by the measured values, wherein a difference between the measured values (14, 15) of the first and second current converter (9, 10) is essentially equivalent to the offset error (27) of the second current converter (10) for higher currents, and wherein the measured values (30) of the second current converter (10) are done in a correction stage (16) of an electronic evaluation unit (13) before integration of the measured values.
