  • Publication number: 20220238925
    Abstract: A method for identifying an electrical battery provided with an electrical interface, called the identification electrical interface, including several pins, called the identification pins, at least one of the identification pins being connectable to at least one other identification pin to assign an identifier to the battery, the method includes at least one iteration of a step of reading the identifier, including the following operations carried out alternately for each of the identification pins: polarising the identification pin at a predetermined electric potential (V1), called the test potential; and detecting whether or not the test potential (V1) is present on each of the other identification pins in order to identify the identification pins which are looped together.

  • Publication number: 20200269715
    Abstract: A method for managing a plurality of rechargeable electrical energy storage modules of an electrical power supply installation, which modules are arranged in parallel with one another, the method including: separating the modules into at least two groups; and supplying power from one group at a time; the method including a regulating phase within at least one group, referred to as the passive group, including supplying power to at least one module, referred to as the passive module, of the passive group by at least one other module, referred to as the functional module, of the passive group. Also provided is a system implementing such a method and an electrical power supply installation implementing such a method or system.

  • Publication number: 20190280494
    Abstract: A method is provided for managing multiple rechargeable electrical energy storage modules of a power supply facility, arranged in parallel, the method including: separating the modules into at least two groups, and supplying power using the groups one at a time; the method also including a step of replacing a faulty module of a group, referred to as the active group, while being supplied by an available module of another group, referred to as the available group. A system is also provided for implementing such a method and a power supply facility implementing such a method or system.

  • Publication number: 20190225108
    Abstract: A process is provided for managing multiple rechargeable stores of electrical energy in an electric vehicle, arranged parallel to one another. The process includes a separation of the modules into at least two groups, and a power supply using one of the groups at a time. The process further includes a regulation phase within at least one group, called a passive group, including a power supply of at least one module, known as passive, of the passive group, which is supplied by at least one other module, known as functional, of the passive group. In addition, a system is provided implementing such a process and an electric vehicle implementing such a process or system.

  • Publication number: 20190184851
    Abstract: A method for managing a plurality of rechargeable electrical energy storage modules arranged in parallel in an electric vehicle is provided. The method includes: separating the modules into at least two groups; and supplying power from one of the groups at a time. The method also includes a step of replacing a faulty module from a group that is supplying power, known as the active group, with an available module from another group, known as the available group. The invention also relates to a system using such a method and to an electric vehicle using such a method or system.

  • Patent number: 9768629
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for charging a battery comprising rechargeable cells. According to the invention, to perform the ith charge of the battery, where i?2, connection of the charging terminals to the charger is detected triggering connection of the cells to their bypass circuit during a pre-emptive bypass time (TPji). Next, for each cell, during a second phase (Cji), the bypass circuit is disconnected from the cell until the voltage of the cell reaches a preset voltage, the pre-emptive bypass time (TPji) for the ith charge having been calculated as a function of the total connection time, during at least one preceding charge, of the bypass circuit associated with this cell, until all the cells have reached the preset voltage. At least one length of time allowing the first time (TPji) for the ith charge and/or said total connection time to be determined was memorized in a memory of the battery during this at least one preceding charge.
