    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an invention concerning a method for managing charging of a Li-ion battery based on at least one parameter chosen from a group consisting of a state of deterioration of the Li-ion battery and cell unbalance, the method comprising the following steps: a) determining an end-of-charge voltage value of said Li-ion battery, b) generating a control signal controlling the charging of said Li-ion battery, and c) transmitting the control signal to a charger, the control signal being generated in such a way that the Li-ion battery is charged based on the end-of-charge voltage value determined in step a), said end-of-charge voltage value being increased based on the state of deterioration of said Li-ion battery until a limit value is reached, in order to ensure a constant minimal level of required energy in said Li-ion battery is provided at a predetermined reference temperature.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for managing the charging of at least one cell of a storage battery, comprising: two separate means for comparing the voltage across the terminals of said cell with a threshold voltage; and two separate controlling means adapted to control two actuators, respectively, in order to interrupt the charging of the storage battery when said first or second comparing means detects that the voltage across the terminals of said cell exceeds the threshold voltage. One of the actuators is formed by a charger that is connected to said storage battery in order to recharge said cells.

    Abstract: A method for managing an authorized operating range of a battery, the authorized operating range being limited between a minimum level and a maximum level of state of charge of the battery. The method includes estimating a state of health in power of the battery, the state of health in power characterizing capacity of the battery to supply a minimum required power level across an entirety of the operating range; and determining the minimum level of state of charge of the battery in accordance with the estimated state of health in power, the minimum level of state of charge being increased when the state of health in power decreases.

    Abstract: A method manages a state of charge of a traction battery of a rechargeable hybrid vehicle including a hybrid power train to provide propulsion. The battery being capable of operating according to a first operating mode over a state of charge range, of which an amplitude is bounded by predefined maximum and minimum state of charge values, in which the battery supplies substantially all power necessary for propulsion, and a second operating mode, in which the state of charge of the battery is kept substantially constantly around an equilibrium state of charge value. The method includes estimating an ageing state of the battery, comparing the estimated ageing state of the battery in relation to a given ageing state threshold, and reducing the amplitude of the state of charge range linked to the first operating mode when the ageing state of the battery rises above the given ageing state threshold.

    Abstract: A method for estimating a state of health of an electrochemical cell for storing electrical energy includes applying at least one current strength peak to the cell, the current peak passing through the cell, measuring a variation, as a function of a time t elapsed after the application of the current peak, of voltage U at the terminals of the cell, and calculating at least one coefficient αI1 and at least one coefficient U0,I1 such that the function √{square root over (t)}→αI1×√{square root over (t)}+U0,I1 is a linear approximation of the variation of the voltage U as a function of √{square root over (t)} for √{square root over (t)}≥C, where C>0. The method is used in electrical or hybrid vehicles.
