Abstract
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.
