Abstract
A method for detecting operations of a power storage device is disclosed. The power storage device includes an electricity storage unit for storing power output from an electronic device or outputting power to the electronic device. The method includes detecting current between the electricity storage unit and the electronic device to determine whether the electricity storage unit is malfunctioned and causes short circuit, and generating an alarm signal when the electricity storage unit is malfunctioned and causes short circuit.
Claims17
A method for detecting operations of a power storage device comprising an electricity storage unit for storing power output from an electronic device or outputting power to the electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting current between the electricity storage unit and the electronic device to determine whether the electricity storage unit is malfunctioned and causes short circuit;
- and
- generating an alarm signal when the electricity storage unit is malfunctioned and causes short circuit.
A power storage device capable of detecting operations, for receiving power output from an electronic device or outputting power to the electronic device, the power storage device comprising:
- an electricity storage unit for storing electricity or outputting stored electricity;
- a switching module, coupled between the electricity storage unit and the electronic device, for controlling a connection between the electricity storage unit and the electronic device according to current between the electricity storage unit and the electronic device;
- a detecting unit, coupled to the electricity storage unit, the switching module and the electronic device, for detecting current through the electricity storage unit and generating a detecting result when the switching module cuts off the connection between the electricity storage unit and the electronic device;
- and
- an alarm unit, coupled to the detecting unit, for generating an alarm signal according to the detecting result.
