BATTERY ISOLATION CIRCUIT

摘要

Various embodiments relating to a battery isolation circuit for disconnecting a battery from a load are disclosed. In one embodiment, a battery isolation circuit includes a power switch, a protection circuit module (PCM), and a drive diverter. The power switch may be operatively intermediate a battery and a load. The PCM may be operatively connected to the power switch. The PCM may be configured to selectively drive the power switch to electrically connect the battery to the load. The drive diverter may be configured to interrupt the PCM from driving the power switch in order to electrically disconnect the battery from the load in response to activation of a user-operable switch.
