摘要 |
A charge/discharge protection apparatus of the present invention includes a switch provided on a charge/discharge current line, the charge/discharge current line being connected to a secondary battery of a battery pack. A charge-state overcurrent detector outputs a control signal when a charge-state overcurrent condition of the battery is detected in a charge state of the battery pack. A control unit sets the switch in OFF state to cut off connection between the charge/discharge current line and the battery in response to the control signal output by the charge-state overcurrent detector. The charge/discharge protection apparatus has a capability to detect the charge-state overcurrent condition of the battery, and protects the secondary battery from being damaged due to the charge-state overcurrent condition.
