ABSTRACT:
A cell bypass circuit is disclosed which includes a diode 32 connected electrically in parallel with a cell 20 of a battery 12. A thermal switch 34 is mounted in thermal contact with a diode 32. A relay 38 including a coil 36 and a contact 40 is provided. The coil 36 is connected to the thermal switch 34 so as to be activated by the activation thereof. The contact 40 of the relay 38 is connected in parallel with the cell 20 so that the activation of the diode 32 causes thermal energy to radiate therefrom activating the thermal switch 34. The activation of the thermal switch 34 causes the activation of the relay 38 which in turn places an electrical short across the defective cell 20 via the contacts 40 thereof.
