Abstract:
A method for supplying electrical energy to an electrical load using a set of chargeable and dischargeable direct current sources, the method comprising the following steps:(a) charging all the direct current sources of the set;(b) connecting a first of the set of direct current sources to the load, in order to supply electrical energy to the load, during which time the first of the set of direct current sources is partly discharged;(c) after a predetermined time, breaking the connection between the first of the set of direct current sources and the load;(d) repeating steps (b) and (c) for each following direct current source of the set of direct current sources;(e) repeating steps (b), (c) and (d), the direct current source connected to the load charging, via a charging device, at least one of the other direct current sources, this being done such that each direct current source of the set of direct current sources passes through a discharge-charge cycle.
