さらに、電池パックの入出力端子と電池の電極を接続す

用していたため、電池パック内部の電池表面温度は入出
力端子にも現われにくかった。Furthermore, the method of connecting the input/output terminals of the battery pack to the battery electrodes used conductive wires or bent thin metal plates, so the battery surface temperature inside the battery pack was unlikely to be reflected on the input/output terminals. .
そこで電池パック内部の電池の温度を検出するために、
電池パックに温度センサーを内蔵し、センサーの端子を
電気的に電池パックの外側に出し、外部でそのセンサー
の電圧または抵抗値を検出して電池パック内部の電池の
表面温度を検出していた。Therefore, in order to detect the temperature of the battery inside the battery pack,
A temperature sensor is built into the battery pack, the terminal of the sensor is electrically exposed to the outside of the battery pack, and the voltage or resistance value of the sensor is detected externally to detect the surface temperature of the battery inside the battery pack.

一つの装置につき複数個の電池パックを交換しながら使
用する場合、使用する電池パックの個数分の温度センサ
ーのコストがかかフていた。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the temperature sensor is built into the battery pack, a temperature sensor is required for each battery pack. Especially when using one device while changing a plurality of battery packs, The cost of temperature sensors for the number of battery packs used was high.
また、個々の電池パックに内蔵された温度センサーの誤
差が大きい場合、それを製造段階で全部調整または選別
するコストがかかつていた。本発明の目的は、収納する
電池に関係なく共用して使用することのできるセンサ機
能をもった低コストの電池装置を実現することにある。Furthermore, if the temperature sensors built into individual battery packs have large errors, the cost of adjusting or sorting them out at the manufacturing stage is high. An object of the present invention is to realize a low-cost battery device having a sensor function that can be used in common regardless of the batteries housed therein.
