ABSTRACT:
A battery pack monitoring apparatus for and method of monitoring various characteristics of the battery pack such that when the battery pack malfunctions, the exact reason for the malfunction can be grasped. The apparatus includes a bare cell adapted to be charged/discharged with a predetermined voltage; a voltage sensor for sensing a charging/discharging voltage of the bare cell and outputting the voltage as a predetermined electrical signal; a current sensor for sensing a charging/discharging current of the bare cell and outputting the current as a predetermined electrical signal; a control unit, a current sensor, and a data storage unit.
