摘要: A battery module includes: a battery cell; a protective circuit module electrically coupled to the battery cell; a temperature sensitive element at the battery cell; a flexible printed circuit board having first and second end portions and an inner portion extending between the first and second end portions; and a spring. The protective circuit module includes a rigid printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board is fixed to a surface of the rigid printed circuit board facing the battery cell by the first and second end portions such that the inner portion forms a loop, is electrically connected to the protective circuit module and to the temperature sensitive element, and is centrally positioned on the inner portion of the flexible printed circuit board. The spring is arranged within the loop of the flexible printed circuit board such that the temperature sensitive element is pushed towards the battery cell.

摘要: A power supply system for a battery system of a vehicle is provided. The power supply system includes: a switch control unit configured to control a power switch to switch an external load; an electronic unit; a first power supply electrically connected to the switch control unit and electrically connected to the electronic unit; a second power supply; and a switching unit. In a normal mode, the first power supply electrically supplies the electronic unit. The switching unit is configured to, in a cold crank mode: electrically disconnect the first power supply from the electronic unit when a voltage of the first power supply drops below a threshold voltage; and electrically connect the second power supply to the electronic unit when the voltage of the first power supply drops below the threshold voltage such that the second power supply powers the electronic unit in the cold crank mode.
