Abstract
In this article it is studied the behaviour of a rechargeable battery, which outputs a maximum power capacity of 17 kWh that's being used as the main source of the prototype electric tractor developed at INMA Bucharest. This tractor is equipped with 16 kW electric motor, 4 speed gearbox and 4x4 traction. The charging mode of the battery when it is supplied with different powers from the current source was studied, but also the power delivery mode when the tractor is in operation and different loads occur. The energy consumption of the battery has also been studied, from the moment when the tractor is put into operation, driving on flat asphalt or agricultural land, with or without load and also in extreme traction conditions, for ploughing or towing heavy loads.
