Abstract
One aspect of the present disclosure provides a battery pack including a rechargeable battery, a first power supply terminal, a second power supply terminal, a first signal terminal, a second signal terminal, a positive-side current path, a negative-side current path, a temperature signal generation circuit, a biasing circuit, and a control circuit. The temperature signal generation circuit (i) includes a temperature detection device and (ii) generates a temperature signal across the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal. The temperature detection device has a variable resistance that is dependent on a battery temperature. The temperature signal has a voltage associated with the variable resistance. The biasing circuit biases the voltage of the temperature signal. The voltage biased makes an external device reduce or stop (i) charging from the external device to the rechargeable battery and/or (ii) discharging from the rechargeable battery to the external device.
