Abstract
A battery management system for a battery module having at least one battery cell provides a current path between poles of the battery module in response to a tripping signal. The current path prevents or terminates an arc in a fuse of the at least one battery cell after the fuse has been tripped. The battery management system can further include an apparatus to trip the fuse and provide the tripping signal in response to identifying the tripping of the at least one fuse. The battery management system can further include an apparatus to receive the tripping signal.
Claims12
A battery management system for a battery module having at least one battery cell, the at least one battery cell having a voltage source and a fuse arranged in series, the battery management system comprising:
- a switch connected between poles of the battery module,
- wherein the battery management system is configured to close the switch to provide a current path between the poles of the battery module in response to a tripping signal, the current path being configured to prevent or terminate an arc in the fuse of the at least one battery cell after the fuse has been tripped.
A motor vehicle comprising:
- a battery module including at least one battery cell having a voltage source and a fuse arranged in series;
- and
- a battery management system including:
- a switch connected between poles of the battery module;
- and
- an apparatus configured to (i) identify a tripping of the fuse of the at least one battery cell and (ii) provide a tripping signal in response to the identifying of the tripping,
- wherein the battery management system is configured to close the switch to provide a current path between the poles of the battery module in response to tripping signal, the current path being configured to prevent or terminate an arc in the fuse of the at least one battery cell after the fuse has been tripped.
A battery module, comprising:
- at least one battery cell having a voltage source and a fuse arranged in series;
