Method and control system for optimizing the power transferred to a starter of an internal combustion engine

The method involves measuring at least one characteristic parameter for a starting process, determining the deviation of the characteristic parameter from a target range and adapting the starting power for the next subsequent starting process of the starter motor so that deviation of the characteristic parameter from the target range is reduced. . AN Independent claim is also included for the following: (a) a regulating system for the electrical power feed to the starter motor of an internal combustion engine.
