First Claim
Patent Images
1. A resistance measuring device for the load-independent measurement of the internal resistance (Ri) of an energy storage device, in particular in an electrical system of a motor vehicle, comprises:
- an energy storage device coupled in parallel to a component and a switch that is configured to generate a current pulse by switchably coupling a current measuring resistor to the component; and
a measuring device configured to measure a voltage drop (Δ
U) of the energy storage device and to measure a current difference (Δ
i) across the current measuring resistor.

Abstract
A power supply is disclosed that is configured for installation in a motor vehicle. The power supply comprises an energy source and a system for accurately measuring the internal resistance of the energy source during the operation of the power supply, without a distortion that would normally result from discharge of the energy storage device.
