Note that the switch means in the present invention is preferably a voltage-driven switch that has a small power loss, a leakage current at the time of cutoff of 100 μA or less, and reduces power consumption. As a device satisfying this condition, a field-effect transistor (FET) has a favorable condition. Among them, the use of a MOS FET with a parasitic diode inside the device can significantly simplify and downsize the circuit. I found it. That is, by using the parasitic diode inside the MOS FET as a part of the battery charging circuit, the charging circuit in the battery device can be simplified, and the battery device has two terminals as in the conventional battery device. It can be used as a component, and the third terminal and the like for controlling the voltage detecting means in the battery device are not necessarily required.

Therefore, MOS used as a disconnection switch for the discharge circuit
Results of examining the FET, preferably as those drain-source on-resistance (R DS (on)) is small as MOS FET, the drain-source on-resistance (R DS (on)) is the battery within the battery unit It has been found that it is desirable that the resistance is equal to or smaller than the internal resistance. Of course, MOS FETs can be used in parallel.
It is necessary that the combined resistance value of the drain-source on-resistance (R DS (on) ) is equal to or smaller than the internal resistance of the battery in the battery device. If the drain-source on-resistance (R DS (on) ) of the MOS FET is larger than the internal resistance of the battery in the battery device, not only will the power loss due to the MOS FET increase, but also as a result, This is not preferred because the temperature of the resin may significantly increase.

Note that, even if a device has a parasitic diode inside, even if the device has a parasitic diode inside, the switch uses a parasitic diode as a part of the charging circuit in the same way as a MOS FET with a parasitic diode inside, so that the battery can be switched in the same way as the MOS FET. The circuit in the device can be simplified.

By the way, the electronic circuit used as the voltage detection means
It can be composed of bipolar ICs, MOS ICs, CMOS ICs, Bi-MOS ICs, hybrid ICs, etc., but it is preferable that the consumption current is small, and at least smaller than the self-discharge current of the secondary battery in the battery device. Is indispensable, especially as a small battery device for portable equipment.
Desirably less than 100 μA. In other words, when a voltage detecting means that consumes more than 100 μA is used, in a battery device of about 1.0 Ah used by a portable device, even if the overdischarge prevention device operates and the external discharge current is cut off, the voltage is not changed. The function of preventing over-discharge of the battery in the battery device cannot be achieved by causing the battery in the battery device to be over-discharged in several months by the consumption current of the detection means.

Further, the voltage detecting means needs to have a reset voltage (V on ) higher than the detecting voltage (V off ), ie, a detecting voltage for turning off the switch means, ie, a detecting voltage for turning on the switch means, and the hysteresis is required. (V on −V off ) is preferably about 0.05 V to 5.0 V.
If the hysteresis is smaller than 0.05 V, the reset voltage will be exceeded again due to the recovery of the voltage across the battery due to the interruption of the discharge current. As a result, the switch device is turned on and the battery device discharges intermittently, so that it is not preferable that the hysteresis is too small. On the other hand, when the hysteresis is larger than 5.0 V, the voltage of the battery in the battery device becomes the reset voltage (V
on ), and the voltage detection means is not reset.
Since the charging current flows only through the parasitic diode of the switching means while the switching means is in the OFF state, a state in which the power loss in the switching means is large continues. That is, it is not preferable that the hysteresis is too large, and the hysteresis should be such that the voltage detecting means is immediately reset by the rise of the battery voltage due to the start of charging.
Therefore, the magnitude of the hysteresis is preferably about 0.05 V to 5.0 V.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the output pattern of the voltage detecting means 5. As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 3, the output voltage (V out (on) ) of the voltage detecting means 5 when it is on is equal to the gate cutoff voltage (V

The average current consumption of the voltage detection IC 14 is 4.0 μA or less, and when the battery device is short-circuited externally, the current (I DSS ) leaking to the external circuit of the battery device when the MOS FET 13 is cut off is 1.0 μA or less. Further, the maximum charging / discharging current of this battery device is 2.0 A, and in an operating voltage range of 5.5 V to 8.4 V, the battery device is used in exactly the same manner as when two secondary batteries 8 are connected in series. The power loss in the MOS FET 13 can be suppressed to about 3% or less of the power capacity of the battery device. Also, even when the battery device is left attached to the device and the MOS FET 13 is turned off,
Charging can be performed in exactly the same way as when two secondary batteries 8 are connected in series.

Therefore, the effect on overdischarge was evaluated by a test method in which a 5Ω resistor was connected between the external terminals 6 and 7 of the battery device of the present invention for one week, the battery device was discharged, and the capacities before and after were compared. . As a result, conventionally, the secondary battery 8 is simply
When only the individual batteries were connected in series, a capacity reduction of 5% to 80% was recognized, but the capacity of the prototype battery device of the present invention did not decrease at all. Also, in the case where the video movie is discharged from the battery device of the present invention and left for one month while being attached to the video movie, conventionally, only the two secondary batteries 8 are connected in series.
