Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for determining a charge state of a battery having a battery management unit.

The battery management unit switches to a second operating state when the battery current exceeds a predetermined current threshold value. In the second operating state, information about the charge state of the battery is collected. Furthermore, a battery having a battery management unit is described, which is configured to carry out the method according to the disclosure.
