Abstract
A protective circuit for a secondary battery pack advantageously having a simple circuit configuration while maintaining the safety of banks in the circuit. Each protective circuit has banks adapted to be charged or to discharge voltage, each bank being coupled to a controller that senses the charging or discharging voltage of the bank and outputs a predetermined value if overcharging or over-discharging is sensed. A level shifter is adapted to shift the voltage output from the controller to an adjusted voltage approximately equal to the voltage output from one of the other controllers. A switching means controls the stopping of charging or discharging of the banks.
