Device for detecting electrolyte overflow and energy storage device having the same

Abstract

A device for detecting an electrolyte overflow is provided, which includes an overflow detecting portion selectively disposed on a carrier. Once the overflow detecting portion contacts with the overflowed electrolyte, an impedance of the overflow detecting portion is changed. Through the change of the impedance, when the electrolyte overflows, an electronic signal is generated by the detection of an electronic circuit. With the electronic signal, the electronic circuit connected to the device is cut off through a protective circuit, so as to prevent the electronic circuit from continuously operating and causing damages to the electronic circuit or the device/system.
