A device for charging a battery comprises an alternating current source, a rectifier being connected with its input to the alternating current source and being connected with its output to the battery for charging thereof. It also has a member for measuring the charging current from the rectifier to the battery and a means (13) for comparing the measured charging current with a current limit value and an arrangement adapted to control the voltage on the output of the rectifier based on information about said comparison and decrease it if the measured current exceeds the current limit value for reduction of the charging current. A unit (23, 28, 30) is adapted to form the current limit value by comparing a current value formed by the value of said measured charging current with a restriction on its positive rise speed with a predetermined maximum current limit value, and to determine the lowest of the so obtained current value and said maximum current limit value as said current limit value for the comparison of said means (13).
