Abstract
A method of controlling a battery including a first control circuit and a plurality of modules arranged in series between first and second terminals, each module including electric cells and switches and a second switch control circuit, the battery further including at least one first data transmission bus coupling the first control circuit to each second control circuit, the method including the transmission, by the first control circuit to the second control circuits, of first data representative of an electric cell configuration to be obtained to follow a set point for the delivery of a voltage and/or of a current between the first and second terminals, the second control circuits connecting or disconnecting the electric cells based on said first data and on a classification of the priorities of the electric cells.
