Disclosed is a battery safety device adapted to form an electrical circuit when compressed by a predetermined pressure or higher and convert the charged state of a battery to the discharged state, a battery having the safety device, and a method for adjusting the safety of a battery by converting the charged state of the battery to the discharged state, before the battery is damaged by a pressure, through an electrical circuit formed on a safety device by means of the pressure. The safety device has a first metal plate, a second metal plate, and a pressure-sensitive conducting film interposed between both metal plates and adapted to exhibit electrical conductivity when a predetermined pressure or higher is applied. The first and second metal plates are electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, respectively. The safety device connected to a battery prevents the battery from being damaged or at least from igniting or exploding, even when an external impact caused by a pressure, a nail, or a nipper or an external pressure is applied to the battery, by conducting the current of the battery to the safety device and discharging the battery before the battery is damaged by the external impact or external pressure.
