    摘要: A vehicle battery safety sensor system providing liquid detection inside a battery pack includes a battery pack having a structure defining a battery cell bay receiving a battery. A first sensor is mounted to the structure proximate to a low point area of the battery cell bay for sensing an operating condition within the low point area of the battery cell bay. A second sensor is mounted to the structure elevated above the first sensor for sensing an operating condition above the low point area of the battery cell bay. A safety module processes signals received from the first sensor and the second sensor and identifies if the operating condition within the low point area of the battery cell bay defines a fluid present in the low point area of the battery cell bay.

    摘要: A battery system for a vehicle includes a battery pack having a structure receiving at least one battery. Multiple sensors are mounted to the structure and sense operating conditions inside and outside of the structure. A safety module is disposed on the structure, the safety module having a centralized sensor processor processing signals received from the multiple sensors to identify if any of the operating conditions defines an abnormal condition of the structure. At least one battery pack sensor senses a condition within the battery pack and is in communication with a vehicle battery management system (BMS). The safety module is in communication with the BMS such that the condition within the battery pack is also communicated to the safety module. The centralized sensor processor identifies if the condition within the battery pack correlates with the abnormal condition of the structure.
