SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BATTERY CHARGING

A method for charging a battery (1), which can be charged to a maximum voltage, comprises performing a charging cycle, the charging cycle comprising a first predetermined time interval and a second predetermined time interval. During the first time interval the battery (1) is charged. During the second time interval no charging of the battery (1) occurs, a present battery voltage is determined and the determined battery voltage is compared to a threshold voltage which is lower than the maximum voltage. A further charging cycle is performed, if the determined battery voltage is lower than the threshold voltage.
