There is provided a battery pack including a battery protection circuit provided with a terminal capable of being connected to a gate electrode of a transistor for charging/discharging control, so that the turn-on resistance of the transistor for charging/discharging control can be easily changed, and accordingly, efficient battery management is possible. A battery protection circuit includes a control integrated circuit (IC) and a switching unit. The control IC detects the presence of abnormality of a bare cell. The switching unit has at least one transistor for controlling charging/discharging of the bare cell. In the battery protection circuit, a gate electrode of the at least one transistor included in the switching unit is connected to a gate connection terminal of the battery protection circuit, which is exposed to an outside of the battery protection circuit. |
