    Abstract: The vehicle receives batteries comprising cells arranged into at least one pack configured to be held in a vehicle structure, the pack being alternatively chosen from among at least one pack(P) and at least one pack(E) which are mechanically interchangeable and electrically substitutable. The pack(P) cells exhibit a maximum power density substantially higher than the pack(E) cells exhibit, and comprise cells exhibiting an energy density per unit mass substantially less than the pack(E) cells exhibit. The maximum electrical power of the pack(P) corresponds to the maximum electrical power needed to accomplish a first vehicle mission and the energy storage capacity of the pack(P) is at least sufficient to accomplish the first mission. The electrical energy storage capacity of the pack(E) corresponds to the electrical energy storage capacity needed to accomplish a second vehicle mission and the maximum electrical power is at least sufficient to accomplish the second mission.

    Abstract: A method for managing a battery according to a state of health of the battery, comprising, prior to using the battery, predetermining a maximum depth of discharge profile according to the state of health of the battery, the profile being dependent on a technology of the battery, on a nominal energy level to be made available each time the battery is discharged, the nominal energy level being substantially constant over a service life of the battery. While using the battery, a maximum depth of discharge of the battery is adjusted at regular intervals, each time the state of health of the battery decreases by a percentage corresponding to an update interval p % that is equal to p/100, that is, for all state of health values (SOHn) that are equal to SOH0-n×p %, where n is an integer comprised between 0 and 20/p.

    Abstract: A method for estimating a state of energy of a battery, comprising the steps of estimating a state of charge of the battery, determining a discrepancy between the state of charge and the state of energy as a function of the state of charge, computing the state of energy as a function of the estimated state of charge and of the determined discrepancy. Also a battery including apparatus configured to implement the method is provided.
