Abstract

There are provided a secondary battery cell, a battery pack, and an electric power consumption device having a configuration and structure capable of accurately and easily detecting the state of the secondary battery cell in the battery pack. A secondary battery cell 20 of the present invention includes an integrated circuit (an IC chip) 60 having a measuring function to measure a battery status, the battery pack has a plurality of secondary battery cells of the present invention, and the electric power consumption device includes the battery pack of the present invention having the plurality of secondary battery cells of the present invention.

Claims (22)

1. A secondary battery cell, comprising:

an integrated circuit having a measuring function to measure a battery status, wherein the measured battery status is at least one of physical quantities selected from the group consisting of a battery temperature, a battery current, and a battery terminal voltage, wherein the integrated circuit is configured to:

receive an electrical signal from outside the secondary battery cell and obtain an electric power to operate based on rectification of the electrical signal;

store individual information including a first identification number, and receive, after the reception of the electrical signal from outside the secondary battery cell, a second identification number from outside the secondary battery cell; and

transmit one of the individual information or the measured battery status to the outside, based on the received second identification number that corresponds to the first identification number stored in the integrated circuit.

2. The secondary battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated circuit is further configured to wirelessly transmit one of the individual information or the measured battery status to the outside of the secondary battery cell.

3. The secondary battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated circuit is further configured to transmit one of the individual information or the measured battery status to the outside of the secondary battery cell through wire transmission.

4. The secondary battery cell according to claim 3 , wherein the integrated circuit is connected to an information input/output terminal in the secondary battery cell.

5. The secondary battery cell according to claim 1 , further comprising a bandpass filter is between the integrated circuit and an electric power line.

6. The secondary battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein an exterior material of the secondary battery cell is configured as an antenna.

7. A battery pack, comprising:

a plurality of secondary battery cells, each of the plurality of secondary battery cells including:

an integrated circuit having a measuring function to measure a battery status, wherein the measured battery status is at least one of physical quantities selected from the group consisting of a battery temperature, a battery current, and a battery terminal voltage, wherein the integrated circuit is configured to:

receive an electrical signal from outside the secondary battery cell and obtain an electric power to operate based on rectification of the electrical signal;

store individual information including a first identification number, and receive, after the reception of the electrical signal from outside the secondary battery cell, a second identification number from outside the secondary battery cell; and

transmit one of the individual information or the measured battery status to the outside, based on the received second identification number that corresponds to the first identification number stored in the integrated circuit.

8. An electric power consumption device, comprising:

a battery pack including a plurality of secondary battery cells, each of the plurality of secondary battery cells including:

an integrated circuit having a measuring function to measure a battery status, wherein the measured battery status is at least one of physical quantities selected from the group consisting of a battery temperature, a battery current, and a battery terminal voltage, wherein the integrated circuit is configured to:

receive an electrical signal from outside the secondary battery cell and obtain an electric power to operate based on rectification of the electrical signal;

store individual information including a first identification number, and receive, after the reception of the electrical signal from outside the secondary battery cell, a second identification number from outside the secondary battery cell; and

transmit one of the individual information or the measured battery status to the outside, based on the received second identification number that corresponds to the first identification number stored in the integrated circuit.
