Abstract
A method for managing the electric power passing through a cell of a metal-air battery and the associated cell. The cell comprises a negative electrode connected to a positive terminal of the battery, two positive electrodes, and a switching means. The switching means is maintained in a configuration connecting the positive terminal to the first positive electrode when an electric power to pass through the battery corresponds to a first power range, and in a configuration connecting the positive terminal to the second positive electrode when an electric power to pass through the battery corresponds to a second power range, the second power range being associated with higher electric powers than the electric powers of the first range.
