  • Battery monitor and open circuit protector
    Patent number: 6388423
    Abstract: A battery open circuit protector for an electrical power distribution system which consists of a number of back-biased diodes in series/parallel arrangement across segments of individual battery cells in a battery. Each diode is back-biased across a segment of individual cells number about 10% to about 15% of the total number of cells making up the battery. Additionally, a voltage divider network analogous to a Wheatstone bridge is connected to the battery and a system distribution control panel wherein the network is connected to the midpoint of the battery cells and includes voltage/current divider resistors to establish monitoring circuits and precision resistors to measure the currents.
