Current Breaking Method for Rechargeable Battery and Battery Pack Using the Same

摘要

A current breaking method of a rechargeable battery (110) and a battery pack using the same. The current breaking method includes: measuring a current value of a current flowing through a high current path of a rechargeable battery; measuring a duration time of the current flowing through the high current path; setting a permission time for which the current is permitted to flow; and interrupting the current flow when the duration time exceeds the permission time. Thus, the timing for interrupting the current flowing through the high current path of the rechargeable battery is accurately calculated, thereby preventing overheating and explosion of the rechargeable battery.
