ABSTRACT:
A battery protection system is provided for a rechargeable battery. The system has a switch module that selectively interrupts battery current based on a control signal, a battery voltage sensor that senses battery voltage, a battery temperature sensor that generates a battery temperature signal, and a control module that generates said control signal based on said battery temperature signal and said battery voltage.
