Abstract
The charging control system for a battery of rechargeable electric storage cells, and in particular for a lithium battery, including cells connected in series which are adapted to be connected to a common electrical power supply. The system includes individual cell charging control units each of which is equipped with means adapted, in operation, to be connected to the power supply to take the energy necessary for charging a cell and which itself provides all of the operations for charging that cell using the energy thus taken.
