Abstract

An apparatus, computer program, storage medium and electrical energy storage system for operating an electrical energy storage unit. The procedure includes ascertaining at least one predefined first condition being checked which represents a use of the electrical energy storage unit and/or an accuracy of a mathematical model of the electrical energy storage unit. If the predefined first condition is satisfied, at least one value of a parameter of the mathematical model is ascertained and subsequently this parameter value is changed in the mathematical model. The electrical energy storage unit is subsequently operated with the changed mathematical model.
