BATTERY CELL ASSEMBLY

摘要

A battery cell assembly having a battery cell and a thin profile sensor is provided. The battery cell has a housing and first and second electrical terminals extending therefrom. The thin profile sensor has a flexible plastic sheet, a microprocessor, and a sensing circuit. The microprocessor and the sensing circuit are coupled to the flexible plastic sheet. The flexible plastic sheet is coupled to an exterior surface of the housing of the battery cell. The sensing circuit generates a signal that is indicative of an operational parameter value of the battery cell. The microprocessor determines the operational parameter value based on the signal from the sensing circuit.
