Abstract:
One embodiment of safety apparatus for a lithium ion battery module comprises a health monitoring component configured to detect degradation of a battery cell within the lithium ion battery module and transmit an output signal; and a safety protection component configured to receive the output signal and at least disable operation of the lithium ion battery module.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of protecting a lithium ion battery module comprising:\n connecting a cell terminal collector plate in series between a first terminal of a first battery cell and a second terminal of a second cell, the cell terminal collector plate having an open end and closed end, the open end connected to the first terminal of the first battery cell and the closed end connected to the second terminal of the second battery cell connected, wherein the lithium ion battery module comprises at least the first battery cell and the second battery cell; and during an expansion of the first battery cell or the second battery cell from cell degradation, creating an open circuit condition between the first battery cell and the second battery cell by the open end of the cell terminal collector plate losing contact with the first terminal of the first battery cell.
