Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board technology, and more specifically, to a circuit board reinforcement plate for battery modules. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most widely used batteries in electronic products. However, during use, they may be damaged due to overcharging, water ingress, short circuits, etc., which could lead to danger. Therefore, circuit boards are used for protection. As electronic products are becoming smaller and lighter, the internal battery packaging also needs to be smaller, which in turn requires the battery protection circuit board to be smaller. However, in the current technology, R-FPCB is generally used, which can help reduce the overall size of the protection circuit board to some extent, but the volume is still relatively large. In addition, the manufacturing process is relatively complex and the processing cost is high. Utility Model Content
