The controller includes a control module to perform at least one control function with respect to at least one of the plurality of battery cells; and an access detection circuit including a light sensitive element in the housing. The access detection circuit is to output an access detection signal when a light intensity in the housing is greater than a predetermined threshold. The controller is to alter a state of the control module in response to the access detection signal.
