Claims19
A card battery to charge and/or discharge an external electronic apparatus, the card battery comprising:
- a card battery body comprising a bare cell and a first substrate electrically connected to the bare cell to charge and/or discharge the external electronic apparatus;
- and
- a connector to connect the card battery body to the external electronic apparatus, the connector comprising a protection circuit module mounted therein and electrically connect to the card battery body, wherein the connector is external to the card battery body, wherein the protection circuit module comprises a second substrate and a protection circuit device provided on the second substrate,
- wherein the connector comprises:
- a first connection portion connected to the protection circuit module;
- a receiving portion to receive the protection circuit module;
- and
- a second connection portion electrically connected to the protection circuit module and to electrically connect to the external electronic apparatus;
- and
- wherein the protection circuit module is configured to prevent an overcharge, overdischarge, and/or an overcurrent.
A card battery connector removably coupled to a card battery body comprising a bare cell and an integrated circuit (IC) chip to electrically connect the card battery body to an external electronic apparatus, the card battery connector comprising:
- a protection circuit module to electrically connect to the card battery body, wherein the protection circuit module is external to the card battery body, the protection circuit module comprising:
- a substrate;
- a protection circuit device provided on the substrate;
- a first connection portion to electrically connect to the card battery body and electrically connected to the protection circuit module;
- a receiving portion to receive the protection circuit module;
- and
- a second connection portion electrically connected to the protection circuit module and to electrically connect to the external electronic apparatus,
- wherein the protection circuit module is configured to prevent an overcharge, overdischarge, and/or an overcurrent.
A card battery connector removably coupled to a card battery body comprising a bare cell to electrically connect the card battery body to an external electronic apparatus, the card battery connector comprising:
- a protection circuit module to electrically connect to the card battery body, wherein the protection circuit module is external to the card battery body, the protection circuit module comprising:
- a substrate, and
- a protection circuit device provided on the substrate to prevent an overcharge, an overdischarge, and/or an overcurrent;
- and
- a connection portion to electrically connect the bare cell to the external electronic apparatus in order to supply power from the bare cell to the external electronic apparatus and/or to supply power from the external electronic apparatus to the bare cell,
- wherein the connection portion comprises:
- a first connection portion to electrically connect to the card battery body and electrically connected to the protection circuit module;
- a receiving portion to receive the protection circuit module;
- and
- a second connection portion electrically connected to the protection circuit module and to electrically connect to the external electronic apparatus.
