Abstract:
A system for managing a battery having a plurality of battery cells connected in series, a plurality of control circuits connected in parallel with a battery cell and at least one electrical connection between a first control circuit of a first cell and a second control circuit of a second cell. Each control circuit is capable of emitting a signal representing physical parameters of its respective battery cell. There is a control unit to control the state of the battery on the basis of the signals representative of the physical parameters. There is a power bus electrically connecting said battery cells to one another in series and each control circuit delivers the representative signal via the power bus after reception of a synchronization signal received.

Abstract:
An accumulator battery system includes series-connected accumulators with potentials across stages powering corresponding controllers that measure potential differences between terminals of accumulators. A first analog-to-digital converter encodes the potential measured between terminals of an accumulator. A first output delivers a first digital sequence corresponding to the encoded potential difference, logic levels of which are defined by at least two potentials across the first-stage accumulator terminals. A decoder decodes a potential measured by the first control-device from the first digital sequence. A second analog-to-digital converter selectively encodes a potential difference measured between terminals of a second-stage accumulator of the second stage and two potentials of the digital sequence received on the input. A second control-device processor extrapolates a potential difference across the first-stage accumulator terminal of the first stage based on two potentials of the received digital sequence.
