The invention relates to a handling machine comprising a battery for powering a variator control system; a processing unit for controlling the variator control system; a voltage converter; a battery cut-off device, and a start-up device, and an electrical charger. The handling machine further comprises an opening and closing device that can be controlled by the processing unit, which is connected to the battery and to the voltage converter in order to allow, in the closed state of the device, controllable opening and closing, a power supply of the processing unit by means of the voltage converter, even when the start-up device and/or the battery cut-off device is open. The invention also relates to a method for charge management of a battery of such a machine.
