Abstract

Provided is a battery device with high safety, which has improved accuracy of overcurrent detection. In the battery device, an overcurrent detection terminal of a battery state monitoring circuit is connected to a node between a discharge control switch and a charge control switch via a resistor.

Claims (9)

1. A battery device comprising:

a first external terminal and a second external terminal;

a secondary battery connected between the first external terminal and the second external terminal;

a discharge control switch and a charge control switch between the secondary battery and the second external terminal; and

a battery state monitoring circuit comprising a first power supply terminal, a second power supply terminal, a discharge control terminal, a charge control terminal, and an overcurrent detection terminal, a discharge overcurrent detection circuit and a charge overcurrent detection circuit,

the first power supply terminal and the second power supply terminal connected to both terminals of the secondary battery,

the discharge control terminal connected to the discharge control switch,

the charge control terminal connected to the charge control switch,

the overcurrent detection terminal connected to a node between the discharge control switch and the charge control switch via a resistor, wherein the overcurrent detection terminal is directly connected to the discharge and charge overcurrent detection circuits.
