1. A rechargeable battery system which is charged by a charging network which is not intended for use with said rechargeable battery system, said charging network having a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation, said rechargeable battery system comprising:

  • at least one rechargeable cell;

    at least one temperature sensor having a first state and a second state for measuring an operating temperature of said at least one rechargeable cell;

    a first control means for detecting a voltage potential of said at least one rechargeable cell;

    a second control means actuated by said first control means for changing said at least one temperature sensor from said first state to said second state; and

    whereby said second control means is actuated based on said voltage potential for simulating a high temperature condition of said at least one rechargeable cell to enable said charging network to change from said first mode of operation to said second mode of operation.
