Method for state of charge compensation of a battery and method for charging a battery
First Claim
1. A method for state of charge compensation of a battery having a plurality of battery units, the method comprising:
- calculating, with a depth of discharge unit operatively connected to each battery unit, a depth of discharge of each battery unit after the plurality of battery units has been charged;
calculating, with an available charge unit operatively connected to each battery unit, an available charge of each battery unit before the plurality of battery units is charged;
calculating, with a state of charge unit operatively connected to the depth of discharge unit and the available charge unit, a state of charge compensation requirement value based on the calculated depth of discharge and the calculated available charge of each battery unit; and
discharging, with a discharge unit operatively connected to each battery unit, each battery unit based on the calculated state of charge compensation requirement value.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for state of charge compensation of a battery having a plurality of battery units. The method comprises the steps of calculating a depth of discharge of each battery unit after the battery units have been charged, calculating an available charge of each battery unit before the battery units are charged, calculating a state of charge compensation requirement value on the basis of the calculated depth of discharge and the calculated available charge for each battery unit, and discharging each battery unit on the basis of the calculated state of charge compensation requirement value. The disclosure also relates to a method for charging a battery which has a plurality of battery units. Also specified are a computer program and a battery management system set up to perform the method, and a battery and a motor vehicle having a drive system connected to such a battery.
