ABSTRACT:
A temperature sensing device for permanently indicating when a product is exposed to ambient temperatures exceeding a maximum permitted temperature of the product for a time period long enough to permanently damage the product. In an exemplary embodiment, the temperature sensing device is typically located on the protective cover of a battery away from terminals and the battery casing. The temperature sensing device is made of a material to permanently expand and/or shrink upon reaching critical temperatures (e.g. too hot). The expansion is visually detectable by means of a visual indicator and/or reference point.
