Abstract

A method for charging accumulation means configured by an electric charging device is disclosed. The charging device includes switching arms respectively including a first switch and a second switch. The method involves ordering a predetermined number of first switches to close respectively for an associated closure time, and on each opening of a first switch that was previously closed, another first switch is ordered to close for an associated closure time, so that a constant number of first switches are closed at a same time.
