  • Publication number: 20220166103
    Abstract: The invention relates to a metal-ion electrochemical battery or accumulator, comprising: a housing (6) of longitudinal axis (X), a rupture zone (60) of a part of the housing, forming a safety vent for the degassing of the accumulator, at least one duct (10) comprising at least one rigid part (14) forming a stiffener, fixed or formed integrally with the part of the housing, around the safety vent, and a flexible part (15) arranged tightly with the housing or with the stiffener which is itself tight with respect to the housing, in the extension of the stiffener and around the latter, the flexible part being adapted to be deformed elastically on three orthogonal axes (X, Y, Z), so as to compensate for the plays on these axes when it is inserted and held tightly in a through opening (12) of a casing (11) of a module or battery pack.

  • Patent number: 10530022
    Abstract: An electric battery including: a plurality of electrical energy storage cells, each including a positive terminal and a negative terminal, the cells being arranged in a package containing a dielectric liquid; within the package, a controllable stirring device for circulating the dielectric liquid in contact with the positive and negative terminals of the cells; and a management device capable of detecting a possible failure of a cell and of accordingly controlling the stirring device to modify the dielectric liquid circulation conditions in the package.

  • Publication number: 20140120393
    Abstract: A printed-circuit board to be fixed to a battery of accumulators includes a substrate comprising conductive tracks, a circuit for measuring voltage connected to the conductive tracks, and an electric interconnection element formed by a single piece, which is conductive and flexible, the interconnection element having a thickness of 0.3 mm to 1.5 mm. The interconnection element comprises a single portion fixed to the substrate by several force-fittings and electrically connected to one of the conductive tracks, and at least two portions overhanging the fixed portion and mobile relative to the substrate. The overhanging portions are formed at ends of a conductive strip disposed to be overhang the fixed portion. The conductive strip connects to the fixed portion by a junction that is narrower than the conductive strip.

  • Publication number: 20130122341
    Abstract: A battery comprises electrochemical accumulators of which a subset defines a first stage of electrically parallel-connected accumulators and another subset defines a second stage of electrically parallel-connected accumulators. Each accumulator of the first stage is series-connected to an accumulator of the second stage by a third distinct electrical connector defined by a through-bore.
