<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a battery pack including a battery cell which expands and contracts in relation to the chemical conditions of the battery cell itself. <P>SOLUTION: A substrate 16 is configured to be brought into contact with a first part of a battery cell 12. A sensor 26 is attached to the substrate and produces a signal indicating the displacement of the substrate. A controller 18 is communicatively connected to the sensor and receives the signal from the sensor. The controller processes the signal to produce a notification of a status of the battery cell. A method of monitoring battery safety includes a step of mounting the substrate to be movable from one end to other end of a cell of a battery. The displacement of the substrate is measured. The measured displacement is processed using the controller to identify a safety status of the cell. An output device is operated using the controller to exhibit the safety status of the cell of the battery. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
