Solution Approach 1:

A ground layer is introduced as an intermediary between the detection lines and the battery cells. This ground layer acts as a mediator that blocks electromagnetic radiation from the cells from reaching the detection lines, thereby protecting the voltage detection accuracy while maintaining close proximity for effective monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The unwanted electromagnetic radiation from battery cells is converted into a beneficial shielding effect by using the same radiation source to create a ground potential reference. The ground layer utilizes the electromagnetic environment to establish a stable reference potential that actually protects the detection lines from interference
