摘要:
A method and device for testing a battery that powers a body-wearable medical device. The battery is contacted via battery contacts and a capacitor is arranged in parallel with the battery contacts. During the battery test, a first capacitor voltage U1 is determined at a first time t1 and a second capacitor voltage U2 is determined at a second time t2 subsequent to time t1. A test current is drawn between time t1 and time t2. t1 is determined by the beginning of drawing the test current and time t2 is determined such that the capacitor voltage at time t2 is in a steady state and is substantially constant while the test current is being drawn. A charging state of the battery is determined from the difference in voltage between U1 and U2 and/or from a time difference between the time t1 and time t2.
