Here is how the battery protection board works for overcurrent protection: 1. Current monitoring: The battery protection board is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery pack and monitors the flow of current in real-time by means of a current sensor or current measurement circuit.
Overcurrent protection refers to the lithium battery in the power supply to the load, the current will change with the change of voltage and power, when the current is very high, it is easy to burn the protection board, battery, or equipment.
However, the widespread use of batteries has also brought about current problems, where the presence of overcurrents can lead to catastrophic accidents such as equipment failures, fires, and even explosions. Therefore, overcurrent protection has become a key element in ensuring the safety of battery applications.
The failure of a battery protection circuit can have far-reaching consequences, impacting both the performance of the battery and, more critically, the safety of the device or vehicle that relies on it. One of the primary functions of a battery protection circuit is to prevent overcharging and overdischarging.
a. Current disconnect: One of the most common responses to an overcurrent is to disconnect the battery charging or discharging circuits. The BMS can quickly stop the flow of current by disconnecting the associated relay or transistor.
When the current exceeds the predefined threshold, the device automatically activates the protective mechanism, which is known as overcurrent protection. The USB interface, such as computer motherboard USB over-current protection is generally going to protect the motherboard was burning down.
