Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention can reduce or eliminate problems with battery pack leakage by monitoring a power level of a battery pack and cutting-off power to control circuitry in the battery pack when the power level reaches a certain threshold.
Claims17
A battery pack comprising:
- a battery unit;
- control circuitry to be powered by the battery unit;
- and
- a cut-off unit coupled to the battery unit and the control circuitry, said cut-off unit to monitor a power level of the battery unit and to cut-off power to the control circuitry when the power level is below a particular threshold.
