7. A method for charging an accumulator device of a vehicle operated using current, using an electrical connecting device, the method comprising:
-
converting an alternating voltage of an alternating current low-voltage interconnected network to a DC voltage, which is suitable for charging or compensation charging an accumulator device using an alternating current/direct current converter system; supplying the DC voltage to a charging connection of the vehicle via an output connection of the electrical connecting device, the electrical connecting device including the alternating current/direct current converter system and the electrical connecting device inclusive of the alternating current/direct current converter system being provided outside the vehicle during charging, and during the charging, the output connection is connected detachably to the charging connection; detecting one of a plugged-in state or an unrolled state of the electrical connecting device; and blocking a travel operation of the vehicle at least one of;
i) if it is ascertained by the detecting that the electrical connecting device is connected to a charging connection of the vehicle, or ii) if it is ascertained by the detecting step that the electrical connecting device is in a not completely rolled-up state,wherein the detecting is carried out by the electrical connecting device, and the blocking includes;
generating and transmitting a blocking command to one of the vehicle or to a travel control of the vehicle, using the electrical connecting device.- View Dependent Claims (8)
