A battery pack for a vehicle, which allows smooth communication and power connection to the vehicle when mounted to an electric vehicle. The battery pack includes a vehicle controller, an auxiliary battery and a vehicle memory to supply a driving power to the motor, and also includes a battery cell; a power supply terminal; a power supply path; a switch; a memory reader configured to read charging information stored in the vehicle memory; and a processor configured to control the switch to supply a power from the battery cell to the auxiliary battery, based on the charging information of the auxiliary battery read by the memory reader.

Battery pack

A master battery management unit including a sensing unit generating pack information of the battery pack, a first master power supply unit generating a first operating voltage using voltage of the battery pack, a communication unit outputting a first switching signal in response to the first operating voltage supplied from the first master power supply unit, a second master power supply unit generating a second operating voltage using the pack voltage in response to the first switching signal, and a control unit operating using the second operating voltage supplied from the second master power supply unit, and testing a preset item based on at least one of the pack information and module information.

Master battery management unit using power from battery module

A battery management unit for a battery module, the battery management unit including a sensing unit electrically connected to a plurality of battery cells, the sensing unit detecting voltage of each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells and outputting a detection signal including voltage information representing the detected voltage, a first power supply unit generating a first operating voltage using a module voltage of the battery module, and a communication unit which operates using the first operating voltage, the communication unit including an antenna, a wireless communication circuit and a first input port, the communication unit receiving the detection signal from the sensing unit through the first input port, testing at least one preset item based on the detection signal, and outputting a RF signal representing a result of the testing through the antenna and the wireless communication circuit.
