[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, as the mainstream rechargeable battery technology, have been widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems due to their advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, and excellent temperature adaptability. However, significant safety hazards and technical challenges still exist in practical applications of lithium batteries.

[0003] Traditional MOSFET protection schemes suffer from response delays in high-voltage, high-current scenarios, potentially causing battery damage before protection actions are activated. Furthermore, the gate charge accumulation effect in parallel MOSFET architectures can lead to device breakdown. These technical shortcomings pose significant challenges to existing lithium-ion battery protection circuits in emerging applications such as fast-charging electric vehicles and high-rate drone batteries, necessitating innovative circuit designs to address key technical issues related to response speed, device reliability, and system integration.

[0010] Preferably, the protection chips U1 and U2 are both powered by the positive terminal of a lithium battery.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are: 1.

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the lithium battery protection circuit of this utility model; Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the fast discharge module designed for this utility model is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, the lithium battery protection circuit of this utility model comprises N cells connected in series. The positive and negative terminals B+ and B- of the lithium battery are connected to the positive and negative charging terminals P+ and P- for charging, respectively. A three-terminal fuse F1 is connected in series on the positive charging line, and a charge / discharge MOSFET is connected in series on the negative charging line. The lithium battery protection circuit includes protection chips U1 and U2. Protection chip U1 collects the voltage of each cell of the lithium battery and connects to control the on / off state of the charge / discharge MOSFET group, thereby controlling the charging and discharging of the lithium battery. Protection chip U1 collects the voltage of each cell of the lithium battery and connects to control the on / off state of the three-terminal fuse F1.

[0015] The charge / discharge MOSFET group includes multiple charging MOSFETs (Q1-Q3) connected in parallel and multiple discharging MOSFETs (Q5-Q7) connected in parallel. The gates of each MOSFET are connected in parallel with a 10Ω resistor and then connected to the control signal.

[0016] The protection chips U1 and U2 are HTL6024AAA and HTL6215, respectively.

[0017] The protection chips U1 and U2 are both powered by the positive terminal of a lithium battery.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, the charging MOSFET is also connected to a fast discharge module. The fast discharge module includes a transistor Q4, a diode D3, and a resistor R2. The emitter of transistor Q4 is connected to the gate of each charging MOSFET, the base is connected to the charging control CHC pin of the protection chip U1, and the collector is connected to the negative charging terminal P-. The base is also connected to the negative charging terminal P- through resistor R2. A diode D3 is added between the emitter and base to create a potential difference between them, ensuring that transistor Q4 can conduct normally. The anode of diode D3 is connected to the base of transistor Q4, and the cathode is connected to the emitter of transistor Q4.

[0019] During normal charging, after the charger is connected to the P+ and P- terminals, U1 continuously monitors the voltage of each cell. When the voltage of all cells is <4.15V, the CO pin outputs a high level, turning on Q1-Q3.

[0020] When any cell voltage is overcharged, the CHC pin of U1 outputs a low level → Q4 turns on, and the gate charge of Q1-Q3 is quickly discharged to P- through Q4. The CO pin outputs a low level simultaneously, providing double protection to turn off the MOSFET. When overcharging continues, U1 triggers the F1 fuse to blow.

[0021] When the load is short-circuited, U1 detects a sudden current change within 100μs and simultaneously turns off the CO / DO pin output, while Q4 turns on to achieve rapid release of the gate charge of the MOS transistor.

[0022] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the main technical solution of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
