Anomaly detection system for secondary battery
An anomaly detection system that outputs an anomaly detection signal before a safety valve of a secondary battery is opened is provided. The anomaly detection system includes a strain sensor, a memory, and a comparator. The memory has a function of retaining an analog potential, and the comparator has a function of comparing a potential output by the strain sensor and the analog potential retained by the memory. The strain sensor is attached to the secondary battery before use, and a predetermined potential is retained in the memory. When a housing of the secondary battery expands while the secondary battery is used, and the potential output by the strain sensor becomes higher (or lower) than the predetermined potential, an anomaly detection signal is output.
