Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'évaluation de dégradation de batterie secondaire qui est apte à évaluer la dégradation d'une batterie secondaire avec un degré de précision relativement élevé à l'aide d'une configuration simple et qui est approprié pour évaluer la dégradation d'une alimentation électrique d'urgence dans laquelle une pluralité de batteries sont connectées. Ce dispositif d'évaluation de dégradation de batterie secondaire comporte une unité de mesure de tension (21) pour mesurer la tension continue entre les bornes de la batterie (2), un circuit de décharge (35) comprenant une résistance de limitation de courant (36) et un commutateur (37) connecté en parallèle avec la batterie (2), et une unité d'évaluation de dégradation (13a). Une unité de gestion de décharge (22) compare la tension continue de batterie à une valeur de réglage de tension et amène la batterie à se décharger si la tension continue de batterie est supérieure à la valeur de réglage, c'est-à-dire, si la tension continue est supérieure à une valeur limite supérieure ; surveille la tension continue pendant la décharge ; et arrête la décharge si la tension continue chute au-dessous d'une valeur limite inférieure. Une unité de plage de dégradation (13a) mesure la fréquence de décharge par le circuit de décharge (35) résultant de la commande par l'unité de gestion de décharge (22) et évalue la dégradation de la batterie (2) en fonction de la fréquence de décharge. La fréquence peut être amenée à être, par exemple, le nombre de décharges dans une période de temps définie ou le temps de décharge entre la décharge actuelle et la décharge précédente.
