Abstract
The invention relates to an electric charging device, to a charging system, to a method for charging a battery of a vehicle, and to an electric connection device of a vehicle for charging a battery of the vehicle. The electric charging device comprises the following: a lifting device () to which a charging head () is coupled, wherein the charging head () has a first plurality of first electric contacts () on a first surface () of the charging head (), at least some of said contacts being connectable to an energy source in order to charge the battery; and an actuator () by means of which the lifting device () can be actuated such that the charging head () can be at least partly moved in a first direction (R) that is substantially perpendicular to the first surface (). The lifting device () is further designed such that the charging head () can be moved in a second direction (R) along a stop surface (U, P) by continuing to actuate the lifting device () by means of the actuator () upon striking the stop surface (U, P) in the first direction (R).
