2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the values of the impedances are determined from the voltage across the terminals of the battery and from a current through the battery.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the values of the impedances are determined using a method of least squares.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the impedances of the electrical model comprise a resistance (R 0 ) and an impedance (Z 1 ) of the battery.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the values of said impedances are stored according to the state-of-charge of the battery (SOC), a current (I) through the battery and a temperature (T) of the battery.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voltage differences are stored for each state-of-charge.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the voltage differences are obtained according to a temperature and a current through the battery.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voltage differences are obtained based on a difference between a measured value Vm of the voltage across the terminals of the battery and an estimated value {circumflex over (V)} bat the voltage.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the state-of-charge observer is an extended Kalman filter.
10. A device for determining a state-of-charge of a battery, comprising: an observer of a state-of-charge e of the battery, a memory in which the value of impedances of an electrical model of the battery are stored for each operating point of the battery, and a computer with a memory, the computer being configured for: calculating a difference in voltage, r(SOC) k , between a voltage obtained by an electrical model, the impedances of which have been stored, and a voltage actually measured across terminals of the battery, and producing a covariance matrix (Q), said matrix comprising standard deviations, σ[r(SOC 1 . . . p )], obtained based on the voltage difference calculated for various operating points of the battery.
