Abstract
The present invention relates to an electric battery (10). The electric battery (10) comprises plural battery cells (12), with each battery cell comprising a container. The container contains an electrochemical arrangement. Each battery cell (12) comprises positive and negative terminals of sheet form which extend from the electrochemical arrangement. The electric battery further comprises plural measurement arrangements (14), with each of the plural measurement arrangements being electrically coupled to each of two spaced apart locations on one of the positive and negative terminals of a respective one of the plural battery cells. Each of the plural measurement arrangements (14) is configured to measure potential difference between the two spaced apart locations.
Claims25
An electric battery comprising:
- a plurality of battery cells, each battery cell comprising a container, the container containing an electrochemical arrangement, each battery cell further comprising positive and negative terminals of sheet form extending from the electrochemical arrangement;
- and
- a plurality of measurement arrangements, each of the plurality of measurement arrangements:
- being electrically coupled to each of two spaced apart measurement locations on a same positive or negative terminal of a respective battery cell of the plurality of battery cells, and
- measuring a potential difference between the two measurement locations, whereby the terminal constitutes a current sense resistor between the two measurement locations.
