Abstract
There is provided a battery pack including a current control element which is inserted in a discharge current path, and in which a thermostat and a heat sensitive resistance element whose resistance value increases in response to an increase in temperature are connected in parallel; and a detection unit that outputs an open signal indicating the opening of the contacts when it is detected that contacts of the thermostat are opened.
