Patent number: 9428074Abstract: An automotive vehicle with electric or hybrid propulsion including a rechargeable electric accumulation battery and a braking system allowing recovery of energy, the battery being rechargeable during braking phases and during charging phases under control of a supply system including a mechanism determining a maximum allowable power for the battery. The mechanism determining the maximum allowable power for the battery includes a first mapping making it possible to read a first maximum power on the basis of a temperature and of a state of charge of the battery, and a second mapping making it possible to read a second maximum power based on the temperature and of the state of charge of the battery.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: RENAULT s.a.s.Inventors: Antoine Saint-Marcoux, Claire Oberti, Marc-Henri Giraud, Bruno Delobel
