The present invention relates to a method of filling a pressure medium accumulator with a housing having an inner space that is subdivided into two chambers by a metallic pleated bellows used as a media-separating element, the first chamber thereof being filled with a gas and the second chamber being filled with a liquid pressure medium, and wherein a bottom valve is provided in a hydraulic port, its closing member being operable by the media-separating element, said valve permitting filling of the second chamber with fluid and preventing a complete evacuation of the second chamber. To enable reliable filling of the above-mentioned chambers with corresponding media without damaging the pleated bellows, the invention proposes a combination of the following process steps: a) evacuation of the second chamber b) filling of the second chamber with pressure medium, and c) filling the gas into the first chamber.
