A process for supplying a medical device (4), in which at least one battery (5) is supplied with energy, wherein the batteries (5) undergo a calendar-based and/or cycle-dependent aging. The utilization time of the batteries (5) in the medical device (4) is prolonged beyond the conventional replacement periods both within the framework of interruption-free power supply and in mobile use. Provisions are made for determining a remaining calendar-based life of the battery (5) from the difference of the total life of the battery (5) and the operating time of the battery (5) and/or for determining a remaining cycle-dependent life of the batteries (5) from the product of the operating time of the batteries (5) by the ratio of the remaining capacity of the battery (5) to the discharged capacity of the battery (5). |
