The present invention provides a battery control system for controlling a battery pack (101) formed of a plurality of battery cells (102i). The battery control system comprises: a detection circuit (202, 204; 107) for detecting at least one operating parameter of the battery pack (101); an activation circuit (103) receiving signals from the detection circuit (202, 204; 107) of at least one operating parameter for generating a first control signal (153) when the detected at least one operating parameter exceeds or falls below at least one critical level threshold; the monitoring unit (160) receives from the detection circuit ( 202, 204; 107) for managing said battery pack (101) and generating a second control signal (111) when said at least one operating parameter exceeds or falls below at least one upper threshold; switching circuit (105, 105'), receiving a first control signal (153) from said activation circuit (103) and/or a second control signal (111) from said monitoring unit (160), for responding to said The first control signal (153) and/or the second control signal (111) connects the battery pack (101) to a power output and disconnects the battery pack (101) from the power output. |
