First Claim
1. A method in an electronic device for determining a status of a battery cell wherein the battery cell operates within the electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises the battery cell, and wherein a strain gauge is attached to the battery cell, the method comprising:
- establishing a value of the-a dimension of the battery cell by use of the strain gauge;
determining the status of the battery cell based on the dimension value that was established compared to a reference value and a threshold related to the dimension of the battery cell.

Abstract
A battery cell is configured to operate in within an electronic device. Determining the status of the battery cell includes using a strain gauge attached to the battery cell. A value of the dimension of the battery cell is established by use of the strain gauge. The status of the battery cell is determined based on the established dimension value compared to a reference value and a threshold related to the dimension of the battery cell. Related methods, devices and/or computer program products are described.
