Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a method for charging a rechargeable battery ( 5 ) of a hearing aid ( 1 ). The proposed method comprises detecting a power supply ( 8 ) being connected to the hearing aid ( 1 ), estimating a state of charge of the battery ( 5 ), selecting one of at least a normal and a fast charging mode in dependence of the estimated state of charge, and charging the battery ( 5 ) according to the selected charging mode. Moreover, the present invention provides a hearing aid ( 1 ) including a battery charging unit ( 9 ) and adapted to support the proposed method.

Claim (Index 35):
The method of  claim 29 , wherein the predefined threshold level of the rechargeable battery voltage determining the switching from constant current charging to constant voltage charging is different for the fast charging mode and normal charging mode, the two associated predefined threshold levels being comprised in the one or more predefined criteria.
