1. A method for regulating a recharging phase of an electrical battery, comprising:
- limiting electrical power sent to the battery to recharge the battery during the recharging phase by computing a maximum power that is acceptable by the battery as a multiple of a maximum acceptable power associated with a selected cell of the battery,the maximum acceptable power associated with the selected cell being computed by taking a minimum of at least three values, including a first power, a second power, and a third power,wherein the first power is calculated such that the selected cell does not exceed a constant threshold voltage,wherein the second power is calculated such that metal deposits are not formed on a negative electrode of the selected cell based on a first operating threshold, andwherein the third power is calculated such that the metal deposits are not formed on the negative electrode of the selected cell based on a second operating threshold that is different than the first operating threshold.
