Original Abstract Submitted

the invention relates to a method for controlling an electric battery provided with a battery management system, the electric battery comprising at least two branches connected in parallel, each branch comprising at least one energy storage module, the branches being electrically connected to a junction box through which the current of the battery passes, each branch being provided with at least one protection fuse which is suitable for interrupting the passage of an electric current in the event of a current surge in said branch. the method comprises: —determining the absence or presence of a branch current and the absence or presence of a junction current; —checking coherence between the branch current and the junction current, an anomaly of the fuse on said branch being taken into consideration in the event of incoherence; —modifying the operation of the battery management system on the basis of the fuse anomaly, with the other branch providing current.
