Abstract
The application relates to a battery including a pack of modules, each containing rechargeable cells in series, the battery including means for measuring the voltage and/or the temperature of at least one module. According to the application, the battery includes means for computing, based on the voltage and/or temperature measured by the measuring means and on a recorded characteristic of the discharge current and/or regeneration current of the battery, a maximum discharge and/or regeneration current limit of the pack. The battery also includes a transmission means for transmitting to the outside the information on the maximum discharge and/or regeneration current limit of the pack.
