Abstract: Battery, comprising a housing (2), and one or more battery cells (3), a primary positive battery terminal (4) and a primary negative battery terminal (6) disposed in the housing (2). The electrical circuit between the primary positive battery terminal (4) and primary negative terminal (6) comprises a series and/or parallel configuration of the one or more battery cells (3) as well as a series connection of a fuse element (11), wherein the fuse element (11) is located inside the housing (2) and has a current rating of at least 250 A.

Abstract: A balancer circuit for a cell in a rechargeable battery, having connecting terminals for connection of the balancer circuit to the cell. A first resistor is electrically connected to one of the connecting terminals and a voltage switch is arranged in series with the first resistor and electrically connected to the other one of the connecting terminals. The voltage switch, e.g., an adjustable voltage reference circuit, is operable to shunt a balancing current through the first resistor when a load voltage sensed over the connecting terminals is higher than a threshold voltage.
