MONITORING THE RECHARGE CURRENT FROM AN EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE AND RECHARGES A SYSTEM BATTERY

Abstract

A monitoring method is implemented in a system comprising a rechargeable battery designed to receive a measurable charging current during a charging phase from an external power source. This method includes a step (10-60) in which it is determined during the charging phase whether the measured charging current is between a chosen maximum charging current and this chosen maximum charging current plus a first chosen value. If so, the charging phase is allowed to continue and at least one action is performed in the system. Conversely, if the measured charging current exceeds the chosen maximum charging current plus the first chosen value, the charging phase is interrupted and at least one second action is performed in the system.

Claims

[Claim 10] to perform the operations consisting of determining during said charging phase whether said measured charging current is between a chosen maximum charging current and said chosen maximum charging current increased by a first chosen value, and if so, to allow the continuation of said charging phase and to trigger the execution of at least one first action in said system (S), and, if said measured charging current is greater than said chosen maximum charging current increased by said first chosen value, to trigger an interruption of said charging phase and the execution of at least one second action in said system (S). System (S) comprising a rechargeable battery (BP) suitable for receiving a measurable charging current during a charging phase from an external power source (SA), characterized in that it further comprises a monitoring device (DS) according to claim 9. 1 / 2
