The invention relates to a device for managing battery packs by measuring and monitoring the operating capacity of individual battery modules in a battery pack. A programmable logic controller directs the selective closing of relays to allow individual battery modules to be load-tested using a variable discharge load unit, without compromising useful battery pack capacity. A battery module whose useful capacity falls below a predefined threshold may be connected to a battery charger for replenishment and then electrically realigned with the remaining modules in the pack for continued operation. Alternatively, an alarm may be triggered which alerts the user that the module is due for replacement. This sequence of events is performed on all cells in the pack at a predetermined interval.

Dispositif destiné à gérer des blocs-batteries en mesurant et en surveillant la capacité de chacun des modules d'un bloc-batteries. Un contrôleur logique programmable permet la fermeture sélective de relais afin de vérifier la charge de chacun des modules au moyen d'une unité de charge à décharge variable sans compromettre la capacité utile du bloc-batteries. Un module dont la capacité utile tombe sous un seuil prédéfini peut être connecté à un chargeur de batterie pour rechargement, puis réaligné électriquement avec les autres modules du bloc pour continuer à fonctionner. Ou bien encore, une alarme peut se déclencher pour avertir l'utilisateur qu'il est temps de remplacer le module. La chaîne des événements est exécutée sur toutes les cellules du bloc suivant un intervalle prédéterminé.
