SMART ENCLOSURES FOR BATTERIES IN CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250003814 titled 'SMART ENCLOSURES FOR BATTERIES IN CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

Original Abstract Submitted

a battery includes an enclosure, a battery management unit (bmu), a conductive trace including conductive particles disposed on a surface of the enclosure and electrically coupled with the bmu to form a closed-loop electrical path. the bmu is configured to detect a resistance in the closed-loop electrical path caused by a percolation of the conductive particles, and determine a swollen condition of the battery based on the resistance.
