    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising a plurality of cells (10) of an electric vehicle battery (1) between which a first passage (17) may receive fluid via a first supply (27). On another side (11b) of the cells, a second passage (19) may receive fluid via a second supply (29). Around the cells, a peripheral passage (21) may also receive fluid via another supply (25). The second passage (19) and/or the peripheral passage (21) is interposed between a thermal insulator (33) and two successive cells. Flow control means (47) provide a thermal exchange fluid flow through at least one of the first, second and additional fluid supplies during a first time period and through at least two of the first, second and additional fluid supplies during a second time period.
