The invention relates to a charging device (100) for charging an electrical stored energy source (60) of an electrically operable vehicle (200), said charging device comprising: a charging connection (50) for electrically connecting the charging device (100) to an external voltage supply; a charging unit (10) for converting a first DC voltage applied to the charging connection (50) into a second DC voltage which is provided for charging the electrical stored energy source (60); and a power distributor unit (30) having a first and a second output (36, 38) for providing the first DC voltage applied to the charging connection (50) and/or the second DC voltage converted by the charging unit (10) to the electrical stored energy source (60) connected to the outputs (36, 38). The power distributor unit (30) has: a first electrical connection (52) for the charging connection (50); and a second electrical connection (56) for the charging unit (10). The invention also relates to a method for charging an electrical stored energy source (60) of an electrically operable vehicle (200) using such a charging device (100).
