The invention relates to a method for regenerating the capacity of an electrochemical lithium battery, including the following steps: a) evaluating the quantity of lithium ions; b) when the evaluated lithium ion quantity is less than or equal to a threshold value, applying an electric current between the cathode or the anode and the container such as to cause the delithiation of the casing, the casing is also arranged to house an element providing both electric insulation and ionic conduction between the anode and cathode electrodes of the electrochemical cell and the casing, said casing including at least one lithium ion storage zone.

The present invention relates to a flexible structure () comprising a strain gauge () that is elongate along a longitudinal axis Xand intended to measure the deformation of the flexible structure in a direction X parallel to the axis Xthe strain-gauge support () being bonded to the flexible structure only via the lateral ends () thereof. One particularly targeted application is the bonding of strain tool gauges to the packaging of a flexible lithium battery, such as an Li-ion battery.

A method recalibrates in situ a comparison electrode integrated into an electrochemical system. The electrochemical system includes a working electrode, a counter electrode, and an electrolyte. The method includes verifying a potential of the comparison electrode relative to the working electrode or to the counter electrode in situ, detecting whether there is a drift in the potential of the comparison electrode relative to a potential plateau for which the comparison electrode was functionalized or designed, and when the drift is detected, recalibrating the comparison electrode in situ.

Method for managing the recharging of at least one battery, characterized in that it comprises a transmission of a desired charge level (C) for a battery (i) at a given instant (T) such that the recharging enables the battery (i) to reach a charge level (C(i)) greater than or equal to the desired charge level (C) at the given instant.

Management of the recharging of a set of batteries

The method for charging or discharging a battery comprises measurement of the voltage at the terminals of the battery and comparison of the measured voltage with an end of charging or discharging voltage threshold. The method also comprises measurement of a temperature representative of the temperature of the battery and measurement of the current flowing in the battery to form a pair of measurements. The voltage threshold is then determined according to the pair of measurements. Charging or discharging of the battery is stopped when the voltage threshold is reached.

A photovoltaic system including: one photovoltaic panel including a face configured to receive light rays, one battery mechanically connected to the photovoltaic panel by a retaining structure, and one space which is opened onto the environment external to the photovoltaic system forming an air layer separating the battery and the photovoltaic panel and including a thickness at least equal to approximately 1 cm. The ratio between the thickness of the photovoltaic system and a dimension of one side of the face of the photovoltaic panel is less than or equal to approximately &#x2155;.

The diagnostic method applies to a standalone system including a generator, a power regulator and a power storage element. The method includes comparison of the effective charging power or current of the power storage element respectively with a predefined power or current threshold. If the effective charging power or current is lower than said threshold, the power storage element is disconnected. An abnormal behavior is then detected either by comparing the effective charging power with the smaller of the values representative of the theoretical charging power of the power storage element and of the maximum power able to be delivered by the generator and comparing the effective and theoretical charging voltages, or by comparing the effective and theoretical charging currents.

Method of diagnosing defective elements in a standalone system, powered by an intermittent power source

The autonomous system comprises an intermittent power source delivering a direct current. A supercapacitance is connected in parallel with the battery and the power source respectively via a first switch and a second switch. Charging of the battery comprises pulsed current charging managed by a control circuit. During a current pulse, the amplitude of the current and the amplitude of the voltage increase at the terminals of the battery are measured. The dynamic internal resistance of the battery is determined from said amplitudes. A maximum acceptable current threshold is determined according to a maximum voltage threshold, to said dynamic internal resistance and to the no-load voltage at the battery terminals. At the next current pulse, the value of the charging current is limited by controlling the closing time of the second switch.
