    Abstract: According to at least one aspect, a device is provided. The device comprises: a connector configured to electrically couple to an external device and comprising a plurality of terminals including a supply terminal; a monitoring circuit coupled to the supply terminal and configured to apply an electrical signal to the supply terminal and measure at least one of a voltage level and a current level on the supply terminal; a controller communicatively coupled to the monitoring circuit and configured to: determine whether an impedance between the supply terminal and at least one other terminal in the plurality of terminals is above a threshold using the at least one of the voltage level and the current level on the supply terminal; and output at least one message responsive to the impedance being below the threshold.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method for improving temperature management of a battery pack. The battery pack may comprise a battery cell charged via at least one supply trace of a PCB (printed circuit board), a protection circuit module mounted on the PCB and coupled to the at least one supply trace, and a plurality of temperature sensors respectively reflecting a temperature of the battery cell and a temperature of the PCB. The method may comprise: measuring a cell temperature and a PCB temperature by the temperature sensors; when charging the battery cell by a charging current and a charging voltage, controlling the charging voltage and the charging current according to the cell temperature, and adjusting the charging current further according to the PCB temperature, so as to constrain the temperature of the PCB.
