Abstract
A system for supplying an electric load, in particular for charging a battery device, including a charging station with an accommodation unit for the battery device and a detection unit for the battery device. The detection unit includes a first optical transmitting device for transmitting a first optical signal and an optical receiving device for receiving the first optical signal. The battery device includes a second optical transmitting device for transmitting a second and third optical signal, the second optical transmitting device functioning as a transmitter of a discretely configured optocoupler for transmitting information from the battery device to the charging station. The optical receiving device of the charging station is configured as a receiver of the discretely configured optocoupler for receiving the second and third optical signals.

21. A method for supplying an electrical load, for the inductive charging of a battery device, the method comprising:
-
inserting the battery device into an accommodation unit of the charging station; detecting insertion of the battery device into the accommodation unit with the aid of a detection unit made up of a first optical transmitting device which transmits a first optical signal and an optical receiving device which receives the first optical signal; initiating a transmission of energy from an inductive transmitter coil of the charging station to an inductive receiver coil of the battery device if over a predefined time period the transmission of the first optical signal is interrupted; initiating the charging operation if within the second time span the optical receiving device receives a second optical signal from a second optical transmitting device of the battery device; and stopping the charging operation if the optical receiving device receives a third optical signal from the second optical transmitting device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
