METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EQUILIBRATING ELECTRIC ACCUMULATOR BATTERIES

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for equilibrating an accumulator battery. According to the method there is provided a battery comprising accumulators connected together in series and a charging current for charging said accumulators, said accumulators exhibiting a maximum charge state, and said accumulators are charged during a charging step so as to increase the charge of said accumulators up to their maximum charge state. Said charging step comprises the following substeps in order: a) said accumulators are fed in series with said charge current at said charging value until one of said accumulators of said battery reaches said maximum charge state; b) meanwhile said one of said accumulators is coupled to the terminals of a corresponding resistor, while the charge current is simultaneously reduced; and, c) return to substep a).
