METHOD FOR CHARGING A TRACTION BATTERY OF AN ELECTRICALLY POWERED MOTOR VEHICLE

A method for charging a traction battery (2) of an electrically powered motor vehicle (4), in which a first target value (S1) for a first battery charge level (SOC1) is specified for a start of the motor vehicle (4) in which the traction battery, provided that its battery charge level (SOCV) is smaller than a second target value (S2), to avoid aging processes, is charged in a first charging process (L1) to a second battery charge level (SOC2) which corresponds to a second target value (S2), which second battery charge level (SOC2) is smaller than the first battery charge level (SOC1), and in which the traction battery (2) in a second charging process (L2) is charged to the first battery charge level (SOC1), wherein the start time (tS) of the second charging process (L2) is set as a function of a specific departure time (tA), the first target value (S1) and the second target value (S2), or wherein the second charging process (L2) is started on the basis of a start signal (S) which is output by the user as a result of an interaction of the user with a terminal (8). The invention further relates to a charging device (10) for charging the traction battery (2) according to the method and to a motor vehicle (4) with such a charging device (10).
