    Abstract: A method identifies a measure that is not provided for by a manufacturer on or using a removable battery pack having at least one energy storage cell and a monitoring unit. The method includes detecting and storing a voltage of the removable battery pack and/or a cell voltage of the at least one energy storage cell using the monitoring unit before the monitoring unit is set to a quiescent state or when the removable battery pack is set to a state other than a charging operating state. The method also includes comparing the detected voltage of the removable battery pack and/or the detected cell voltage with a previously-stored voltage of the removable battery pack or a previously-stored cell voltage using the monitoring unit when the monitoring unit is set to an operating state or when the removable battery pack is in the state other than the charging operating state.

    Abstract: A method for charging a battery comprises: measuring a battery voltage with a voltage sensor and a battery current with a current sensor; applying, with a charging circuit, a first charging current to the battery until the measured battery voltage exceeds a predetermined voltage threshold, a magnitude of the first charging current being held at a first constant value; applying, with the charging circuit, in response to the measured battery voltage exceeding the predetermined voltage threshold, a second charging current to the battery until a cutoff criterion is satisfied, a magnitude of the second charging current being such that the battery voltage exceeds a steady state voltage limit for the battery; after the cutoff criterion is satisfied, determining a rest voltage of the battery; and updating the cutoff criterion based on a difference between the determined rest voltage and a target rest voltage.
