ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for improving protection of a battery pack when the battery pack is in a very low power state, the battery pack including a plurality of battery cells coupled to present an output voltage at a battery potential locus and a protection device for providing a plurality of safeguards to protect the battery pack, affects operation of the protection device to control at least one safeguard and includes a current sensing unit coupled with the plurality of battery cells and with the protection device. The current sensing unit senses a battery traversing current associated with at least one battery cell. The current sensing unit generates an alerting signal when the battery traversing current exceeds a predetermined value. The protection device enables the at least one safeguard in response to the alerting signal.
