Further, the mounted battery pack 2 supplies power to the notebook computer 1 only after recognizing that the battery pack 2 is mounted (chargeable / dischargeable state). When the battery pack 2 is taken out, charging / discharging is prohibited only after recognizing that the battery pack 2 has been taken out except for abnormal states such as overcurrent, overdischarge, and overcharge.
- the CPU 2 of the battery pack 2 shown in FIG. 3 turns on / off the FETs 31 and 32 via the control lines 41 and 42 and the dryno 35 and 36. This is done by controlling.
- the CPU 2f sends a power save control signal to the switch 26 via the control line 43 to switch the multiplexer. 22. Turn off the power supply to operational amplifiers 23 and 25 to control the power save mode.
- FIG. 5 is substantially the same as the embodiment of FIG. 3, except that a temperature compensation semiconductor 30 is arranged in addition to the embodiment of FIG.
- the power line 30 is arranged between the resistor l g and the 5 V power line la of the notebook computer 1 via the terminal 3 n and the ground line 10.
- the pull-down resistor (R p 21) 2 c has a relatively low impedance of, for example, about 100 k ⁇ , the data in the connection state of the battery pack 2 is not sufficient.
- the evening line 3 f is connected to the ground line 10 from the data line 3 h of the communication LSI 1 f via the clock line 3 i, the clock line 3 g, and the bundle resistance (R p 21) 2 c.
- the signal level drops so that the data terminal 3b is at the H level. From L to L level.
- pull-down is performed with respect to the ground 10 via the resistor (R n 3) 1 g, the terminal 3 n and the thermistor 30.
- the power supply line 1a changes from the H level to the L level, so that the CPU 2f of the battery pack 2 outputs the signal level of the data line 3f.
- the notebook PC 1 By detecting a change in the level (change from the H level to the L level), it can be detected that the notebook PC 1 has been inserted.
- the number of connection terminals used when electrically connecting a battery pack to an electronic device is reduced, and the problems of miniaturization and poor terminal contact are reduced. be able to. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the number of B-IN terminals required in the past, to reduce the size of connectors due to the reduction in the number of terminals, and to reduce the problem of poor contact of terminals.
- the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
- an example of a so-called notebook computer is given as an example of an electronic device.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and any device that is to be powered by a battery pack is not limited to a notebook personal computer.
- it can be applied to other types of computers, information terminals, recorders, video tape recorders, mobile phones, electric bicycles, and other devices that require a battery pack.
