Battery system including two temperature sensors
First Claim
1. A battery system, comprising:
- an upper limit battery system temperature sensor;
a lower limit battery system temperature sensor;
a rechargeable energy storage component; and
a temperature indication output component, coupled with said upper limit battery system temperature sensor and with said lower limit battery system temperature sensor;
wherein said upper limit battery system temperature sensor determines whether the battery system'"'"'s temperature is greater than a maximum temperature, said lower limit battery system temperature sensor determines whether the battery system'"'"'s temperature is less than a minimum temperature, and wherein said temperature indication output component signals whether the battery system'"'"'s temperature is between the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature.
