BATTERY INTERNAL SHORT-CIRCUIT DETECTING DEVICE AND METHOD, BATTERY PACK, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A battery internal short-circuit detecting device, comprising:
- a battery temperature detection unit for detecting a battery temperature Tr;
an ambient temperature detection unit for detecting an ambient temperature Te;
an average heating value detection unit for detecting an average value Pav of battery heating values per predetermined first period Δ
W1, which are generated by discharging or charging the battery;
a battery temperature estimation unit for obtaining a battery temperature Tp estimated to be reached after a lapse of a predetermined second period Δ
W2 since the detection of the average value Pav of the heating values, based on the average value Pav of the heating values and the ambient temperature Te; and
an internal short-circuit determination unit for determining that an internal short circuit has occurred when an actual battery temperature Tr after the lapse of the second period Δ
W2 is equal to or greater than the sum of the estimated battery temperature Tp and a predetermined coefficient α
