  • Patent number: 8115455
    Abstract: The application relates to a power battery module, including rechargeable cells having a nominal operating charging temperature, greater than 20° C. According to the application, the module includes a circuit for managing charging of the cells which further includes: two external charging terminals for charging of the cells, wherein at least one, called second charging terminal, of the two external charging terminals is distinct from the external use terminals, first interruption/connector between the second charging terminal and one of the use terminals, second device between the charging terminals and the heating element to connect, at least in the first interruption position, the charging terminals to a heating element of the cells.

  • Patent number: 8025996
    Abstract: An electric power storage cell including several electrochemical elements connected in series and/or in parallel, arranged inside a sealed casing. The casing electrically connects the electrochemical elements to a power connecting device outside the casing. The electrical connection is configured so that the casing can be traversed without affecting adversely the tightness thereof and without transmitting stresses to the casing. The storage cell has applications in the field of lithium polymer technologies with high power storage assemblies.

  • Publication number: 20090104518
    Abstract: The invention concerns a battery module comprising at least one element consisting of stacked layers, some layers having edges extending beyond the edges of other layers, thus forming projecting parts, and a tightening member maintaining the projecting parts of the layers tightly close together. The invention is characterized in that the tightening member is a self-contained elastic member which by itself, without external aid, provides for the tightening of said projecting parts and its own grip thereon, and is adapted to provide an electrical connection of said layers to a circuit.
