1. A cell bypass circuit including:

  • a diode connected electrically in parallel with said cell;

    a thermal switch mounted in thermal contact with said diode;

    a relay including a coil and a contact, said coil being connected to said thermal switch so as to be activated by the activation thereof, and said contact being connected in parallel with said cell;

    whereby the activation of said diode causes thermal energy to radiate therefrom activating said thermal switch thereby and the activation of said thermal switch causes the activation of said relay which in turn places an electrical short via said contacts across said cell.
