SECONDARY BATTERY INCLUDING A SENSOR TO DETERMINE IF BATTERY IS HEATED ABOVE A PREDETERMINED TEMPERATURE

摘要

A secondary battery includes at least one bare cell having a first electrode and a second electrode, a Protection Circuit Module (PCM) electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode of the bare cell, and an abnormal temperature sensing member provided on a surface of the bare cell and electrically connected to the PCM. The abnormal temperature sensing member is electrically short-circuited when the bare cell is heated above a predetermined temperature.
