DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXECUTION EXAMPLES
[0049] Fig. Figures 1 to 7 show a system 10 according to the invention comprising an electrical energy storage device 1 according to the invention.
[0050] The electrical energy storage device 1 is designed to supply an electrically driven processing device 2 with electrical drive power AL and / or a further electrical energy storage device 1''' for the processing device 2 with electrical charging power LL. The energy storage device 1 comprises a series connection of electrical energy storage cells Z_1, ..., Z_i, ..., Z_n, at least a series connection of electrical measuring resistors R_1, ..., R_i, ..., R_n, electrical measuring switches S_1, ..., S_i, ...

Ratios of the resistance values of the measuring resistors R_1, ..., R_i, ..., R_n to the nominal voltage values of the associated energy storage cells Z_1, ..., Z_i, ..., Z_n are used to equalize changes in the individual charge states LZ1, ...., LZi, ..., LZn caused by the determination being unequal.
[0051] System 10 comprises the electrically powered processing device 2. In particular, the processing device 2 is ground- and / or hand-operated, especially hand-carried, and / or a garden, forestry, construction, and / or soil cultivation device 2'. In particular, the garden, forestry, construction, and / or soil cultivation device 2' is a saw, or a pole pruner, or a hedge trimmer, or a hedge cutter, or a shrub cutter, or a branch cutter, or an angle grinder, or a blower, or a leaf blower, or a vacuum, or a leaf vacuum, or a cleaning device, or a pressure washer, or a sweeper, or a sweeping roller, or a sweeping brush, or a lawnmower 2", or grass shears, or a brush cutter, or a scarifier. Additionally or alternatively, the processing device 2 is an autonomous mobile processing robot 2'''', in particular a robotic lawnmower 2''''.
[0052] Furthermore, the measuring switches S_1, ..., S_i, ... S_n are connected in series such that in a closed switching state of a measuring switch S_1, ..., S_i, ... S_n, a measuring resistor R_1, ..., R_i, ..., R_n and an energy storage cell Z_1, ..., Z_i, ..., Z_n are connected in series and assigned to each other.
[0053] Furthermore, an energy storage cell Z_1, in particular the series connection of energy storage cells Z_1, ..., Z_i, ..., Z_n with a starting point ZA, is electrically connected to a reference potential GND. Additionally or alternatively, a measuring resistor R_1, in particular the series connection of measuring resistors R_1, ..., R_i, ..., R_n with a starting point RA, which is specifically associated with the energy storage cell Z_1, is electrically connected to the reference potential GND. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the measuring switches S_1, ..., S_i, ..., S_n are electrically connected to the reference potential GND by means of at least one energy storage cell Z_1, ..., Z_i, ..., Z_n and / or at least one measuring resistor R_1, ..., R_i, ..., R_n.
[0054] Furthermore, the nominal voltage values are the same. Additionally or alternatively, the resistance values are different.
[0055] Furthermore, the ratios and / or time durations T1, T2 and / or a time sequence and / or a temporal frequency ZH of the control of the measuring switches S_1, ..., S_i, ... S_n are such that, on a temporal average, the changes in the individual charge states LZ1, ..., LZi, ..., LZn are aligned, in particular equal.
[0056] Furthermore, the control device 4 is designed for determining the individual charge states LZ1, ..., LZi, ..., LZn, to control a measuring switch S_n at the end ZE of the series connection of the energy storage cells Z_1, ..., Z_i, ..., Z_n and the end RE of the series connection of the measuring resistors R_1, ..., R_i, ..., R_n to a closed switching state and, in successive steps, to control another measuring switch S_1, ..., S_i, ... S_n-1 to a closed switching state until all other measuring switches S_1, ..., S_i, ... S_n-1 have been controlled, in particular, controls as shown in Fig. 2 shown. Additionally or alternatively, the control device 4 is designed to determine the proper operating states FS1, ..., FSi, ..., FSn by successively controlling a measuring switch S_1, ..., S_i, ... S_n to a closed switching state until all measuring switches S_1, ..., S_i, ... S_n have been controlled, in particular by controlling as shown in Fig. 3 shown.
[0057] For the sake of clarity, the illustrated embodiment does not show the control connections from the control device to the measuring switches for their control.
[0058] Furthermore, the energy storage device has a determination device 5. The determination device 5 is designed, in particular, to determine the individual charge states LZ1, ..., LZi, ..., LZn and the proper operating states FS1, ..., FSi, ..., FSn as a function of the closed switching states of the measuring switches S_1, ..., S_i, ... S_n and the measurements of the measured voltage quantity MSP.
[0059] When determining the proper operating states FS1, ..., FSi, ..., FSn of the measuring switches S_1, ..., S_i, ... S_n, the energy storage cell Z_1, electrically connected to the reference potential GND, is subjected to the highest or most frequent load, and, in particular, all other energy storage cells Z_2, ..., Z_i, ..., Z_n are subjected to a decreasing or falling load, in particular a strictly monotonical load, as shown in Fig. 3 shown.
[0060] When determining the individual charge states LZ1, ..., LZi, ..., LZn of the energy storage cells Z_1, ..., Z_i, ..., Z_n, the energy storage cell Z_1 is electrically connected to the reference potential GND and is subjected to the lowest or least load, and, in particular, all other energy storage cells Z_2, ..., Z_i, ..., Z_n are charged progressively, in particular strictly monotonically, as in Fig. 2 shown. In particular, a larger circulating current flows through the upper energy storage cells than through the lower energy storage cells.
[0061] Furthermore, the determination of the proper functional states FS1, ..., FSi, ..., FSn is not performed as frequently as the determination of the individual charge states LZ1, ..., LZi, ..., LZn, e.g. in a ratio of 1:199.
[0062] Furthermore, for example, the time period T1 for determining the individual charge states LZ1, ..., LZi, ..., LZn is 199 x 10 ms (milliseconds) and the time period T2 for determining the proper operating states FS1, ..., FSi, ..., FSn is 1 x 10 ms.
[0063] Additionally or alternatively, the ratio values are, for example, a minimum of 0.1 per mille, in particular a minimum of 0.2 per mille, in particular a minimum of 0.5 per mille, and / or a maximum of 100 per mille, in particular a maximum of 50 per mille, in particular a maximum of 20 per mille, in particular a maximum of 10 per mille, in particular a maximum of 5 per mille, in particular a maximum of 2 per mille, in particular a maximum of 1 per mille, unequal, in particular from measuring resistor to measuring resistor.
[0064] Additionally or alternatively, the nominal voltage values are, for example, a minimum of 2 V (volts) and / or a maximum of 4 V, in particular 3.6 V.
[0065] Thus, on average over time, the changes in the individual charge states LZ1, ..., LZi, ..., LZn are equalized, in particular, they are the same. And if, on average over time, the changes in the individual charge states LZ1, ..., LZi, ..., LZn are not equalized, in particular not sufficiently equalized, the ratio is changed, as in Fig. Figure 7 shows that, for example, the ratio is changed to 1:149 if the lowest cell voltage is too low, and the ratio is changed to 1:249 if the lowest cell voltage is too high. This allows for simple control, particularly two-point control, of the balancing or individual charge states, especially without requiring significant computing power. At a minimum, the changes in the individual charge states LZ1, ..., LZi, ..., LZn are thus balanced, and in particular equal, over time.
[0066] As the exemplary embodiments shown and explained above clearly demonstrate, the invention provides an advantageous electrical energy storage device and an advantageous system comprising the energy storage device, which have improved properties.
