Abstract
The invention relates to an inductive charging device for a vehicle and to a method for monitoring an inductive charging device for a vehicle, wherein a metal object is detected in each case. The method has the steps of: carrying out a passive metal object detection, MOD, while a battery of a vehicle () is inductively charged by generating an electromagnetic field in order to induce a charge current (I) in a receiving coil structure () of the vehicle (); and carrying out an active MOD at points in time at which no inductive charging process is being carried out.
