Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for minimizing cell aging of a battery () and/or a battery () comprising an apparatus for minimizing cell aging of the battery (). For this the following is performed: detection of battery parameters which describe the present state of the battery (); checking, on the basis of a preset aging model and the battery parameters, whether the state of the battery () is an aging state in which the cell aging of the battery () is less pronounced in the case of cyclic charging or discharging than in a quiescent state in which there is no charging or discharging of the battery (); and cyclic partial discharging and partial charging of the battery () if the battery () is in such an aging state. The method according to the invention and/or the battery () according to the invention are characterized by reduced cell aging. This means that such a battery () and/or a battery () to which the method is applied has an extended life. This results in particular in cost advantages, ecological advantages and improved user friendliness.
