Abstract

Provided is a secondary battery cell capable of reliably preventing an integrated circuit provided to the secondary battery cell from being removed from the secondary battery cell. A secondary battery cell ( 20 ) includes an integrated circuit (IC chip) ( 50 ) that stores identification information (for example, identification number (ID number) given to the integrated circuit itself). The integrated circuit ( 50 ) includes a wiring abnormality detection circuit. When the integrated circuit ( 50 ) is removed from the secondary battery cell ( 20 ), the wiring abnormality detection circuit detects a wiring abnormality.

Claims (24)

1. A secondary battery cell, comprising:

an integrated circuit configured to store identification information,

wherein the integrated circuit is connected to a shielding wiring provided on the secondary battery cell, and

in an event the integrated circuit is removed from the secondary battery cell, the shielding wiring is configured to enter one of a non-conductive state or a short circuit state.

2. The secondary battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated circuit comprises a wiring abnormality detection circuit connected to the shielding wiring, and in an event the integrated circuit is removed from the secondary battery cell, the wiring abnormality detection circuit is configured to detect a wiring abnormality.

3. The secondary battery cell according to claim 2 , wherein in an event the secondary battery cell is removed from a secondary battery cell fixing unit, the shielding wiring is configured to enter one of the non-conductive state or the short circuit state.

4. The secondary battery cell according to claim 2 ,

wherein the integrated circuit includes a storage area, and

in an event the wiring abnormality detection circuit detects the wiring abnormality, the storage area is configured to store information indicating that the wiring abnormality is detected.

5. The secondary battery cell according to claim 2 , further comprising a fuse, wherein in an event the wiring abnormality detection circuit detects the wiring abnormality, the integrated circuit is configured to disconnect the fuse.

6. A battery pack, comprising:

a plurality of secondary battery cells, wherein each secondary battery cell of the plurality of secondary battery cells comprises:

an integrated circuit configured to store identification information,

wherein the integrated circuit includes a wiring abnormality detection circuit,

in an event the integrated circuit is removed from the secondary battery cell, the wiring abnormality detection circuit is configured to detect a wiring abnormality, and

wherein the wiring abnormality detection circuit is connected to a shielding wiring that is provided on the secondary battery cell.

7. The secondary battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information comprises an identification number (ID number) given to the integrated circuit.

8. A secondary battery cell, comprising:

an integrated circuit configured to store identification information,

wherein the integrated circuit includes a wiring abnormality detection circuit, and

in an event the integrated circuit is removed from the secondary battery cell, the wiring abnormality detection circuit is configured to detect a wiring abnormality, and

wherein the wiring abnormality detection circuit is connected to shielding wiring that is provided to the secondary battery cell.

9. The battery pack according to claim 6 , further comprising a circuit configured to determine whether the integrated circuit is removed from the secondary battery cell based on the identification information from the integrated circuit.

10. The secondary battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information comprises information to authenticate the secondary battery cell.
