ABSTRACT:
A battery protection device has a charging circuit for charging a capacitor in accordance with an input signal so that the input signal will be distinguished from noise, and an output circuit for generating an output in accordance with the input signal. The battery protection device receives as its input signal a overvoltage detection signal, and the capacitor is charged in accordance with this signal. The output circuit outputs a signal for cutting off the battery charging path in accordance with the overvoltage detection signal. The battery protection device also has a latch circuit for latching the output of the output circuit in a state for outputting the charging path cutoff signal once the voltage across the capacitor exceeds a predetermined level, and an operation-responsive circuit for independently supplying an electric current to the capacitor in response to a predetermined operation. When a change is caused in the voltage across the capacitor by the current supplied from the operation-responsive means, the change is fed to the latch circuit and thereby the latch circuit is unlatched.
