Abstract

An electrical plug connection for connecting a consumer or a charging device to a battery. The plug connection includes a plug part and a socket part. The part of the plug connection located on the battery side is provided with a transponder (15) in which data suitable for identifying the battery is stored.

Claims

1. An electric plug connection for connecting a consumer or a charging device to a battery on a battery side of the connection, comprising a plug part and a socket part, wherein either the plug part or the socket part is provided on the battery side, wherein the part of the plug connection provided on the battery side comprises a transponder in which data suitable for identifying the battery is stored, and wherein the transponder is provided in a coding pin for coding the plug connection for a certain battery voltage.

2. The electric plug connection according to claim 1, wherein the plug part has a plug face and the transponder is inserted with an integral bond into a recess provided in the end of the coding pin facing away from the plug face.

3. The electric plug connection according to claim 1, wherein the consumer or the charging device is on a charging device side of the connection, and wherein the part of the plug connection provided on the charging device side comprises a reader for reading the data stored by the transponder.

4. A coding pin for an electric plug connection according to claim 2.

5. The electric plug connection according to claim 2, wherein the consumer or the charging device is on a charging side of the connection, and wherein the part of the plug connection provided on the charging device side comprises a reader for reading the data stored by the transponder.

6. A coding pin for an electric plug connection according to claim 3.

7. An electric plug connection for connecting a consumer or a charging device to a battery, comprising a plug part and a socket part, such that the part of the plug connection on the battery end comprises a transponder in which data suitable for identifying the battery is stored, wherein the transponder is provided in a coding pin for coding the plug connection for a certain battery voltage.
