Abstract
Disclosed is a battery system having a battery package assembly including a battery cell and a battery control circuit, wherein the battery control circuit includes an internal volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor and a control circuit. The battery cell is connected to the battery control circuit, which is in turn connected to an external interface connection. The VOC sensor is configured to detect the presence of a VOC within the battery package assembly indicating a failure or impending failure the battery cell.
Claims14
A battery system, comprising:
- a battery package assembly including at least one battery cell and a battery control circuit;
- wherein the battery control circuit further comprises an internal volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor and a control circuit;
- wherein the at least one battery cell is connected to the battery control circuit;
