A method for identifying an electrical battery provided with an electrical interface, called the identification electrical interface, including several pins, called the identification pins, at least one of the identification pins being connectable to at least one other identification pin to assign an identifier to the battery, the method includes at least one iteration of a step of reading the identifier, including the following operations carried out alternately for each of the identification pins: polarising the identification pin at a predetermined electric potential (V1), called the test potential; and detecting whether or not the test potential (V1) is present on each of the other identification pins in order to identify the identification pins which are looped together.

Method for identifying an electrical battery

The invention relates to a method for charging a battery comprising rechargeable cells. According to the invention, to perform the ith charge of the battery, where i&#x2267;2, connection of the charging terminals to the charger is detected triggering connection of the cells to their bypass circuit during a pre-emptive bypass time (TP). Next, for each cell, during a second phase (C), the bypass circuit is disconnected from the cell until the voltage of the cell reaches a preset voltage, the pre-emptive bypass time (TP) for the ith charge having been calculated as a function of the total connection time, during at least one preceding charge, of the bypass circuit associated with this cell, until all the cells have reached the preset voltage. At least one length of time allowing the first time (TP) for the ith charge and/or said total connection time to be determined was memorized in a memory of the battery during this at least one preceding charge.
