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.
