1. A device, comprising:
- a measuring unit (10) configured to acquire at least one battery characteristic value,an arithmetic unit (12), wherein said arithmetic unit (12) is configured to determine an ageing-specific charging mode before a charging process of a battery is carried out as a function, at the least, of the at least one battery characteristic value acquired by the measuring unit,wherein said arithmetic unit is configured to determine a state characteristic value based on said at least one battery characteristic value acquired by the measuring unit,wherein said state characteristic value is characterized by a number of charging-discharging cycles of the battery,wherein said arithmetic unit is further configured to determine an extent of ageing of said battery based on said state characteristic value, andwherein said arithmetic unit is further configured to determine said ageing-specific charging mode based on the extent of ageing of said battery.

9. A method for determining an ageing-specific charging mode of a battery as a function of an acquired battery characteristic value, comprising the following steps:
-
providing a device, said device comprising a measuring unit (10) and arithmetic unit; acquiring at least one battery characteristic value by the measuring unit; determining a state characteristic value by the arithmetic unit based on said at least one battery characteristic value acquired by the measuring unit, wherein said state characteristic value is characterized by a number of charging-discharging cycles of the battery; determining an extent of ageing of the battery to be charged by the arithmetic unit based on the state characteristic value; and determining an ageing-specific charging mode for the battery to be charged by the arithmetic unit based on the extent of ageing of said battery determined by said arithmetic unit.
