Abstract:
Provided are a battery pack and a control method using the same, the battery pack having improved safety so as to prevent fire or prevent fire from spreading even if ignited, thereby reducing the risks which can occur during ignition. The battery pack, according to the present invention, comprises: an electrode assembly comprising an anode, a cathode, and a separator; and a single cell or a plurality of cells having a pouch-shaped battery case for accommodating the electrode assembly, wherein the cell is accommodated and stacked by the module case, the module case comprises a fire suppression agent or a fire extinguishing agent at the inner or outer part thereof such that the fire suppression agent or the fire extinguishing agent is automatically discharged from the module case when cell swelling occurs.

Claim (Index 13):
A control method of a vehicle comprising the battery pack according to  claim 6 , comprising:\n setting a first reference value in an MCU included in a BMS of the battery pack, the first reference value being a value representing that walls of the module case are distorted compared to a horizontal plane in normal condition but are within an acceptable range; providing warning notification to the MCU when the walls of the module case are distorted more than the first reference value compared to the horizontal plane in normal condition; and measuring, by the MCU, a current cell voltage through ASIC IC which measures cell voltage and determining whether the cell voltage is in overvoltaged (OV) condition, and when the cell voltage is normal, warning signaling followed by returning to the normal condition, and when the cell voltage is in overcharged condition, shutting off relay of the battery pack.
