Abstract: A battery pack including fire extinguishing equipment. The fire extinguishing equipment includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and an activation line. The first chamber stores a fire extinguishing chemical agent, the second chamber stores a gas-generating chemical agent, and the activation line extends into the second chamber to be in contact with the gas-generating chemical agent. The second chamber includes a pressure relief opening, and the pressure relief opening is in communication with the first chamber, and is configured to spray the gas in the second chamber to the first chamber. The first chamber includes a discharge opening, and the discharge opening is configured to discharge the fire extinguishing chemical agent in the first chamber after the gas generated after the gas-generating chemical agent is ignited enters the first chamber.

Abstract: This application discloses a battery cell. An electrochemical cell includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and at least three separators located between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. A first separator located at the middle among the at least three separators is a conductive layer. A second separator located between the positive electrode plate and the first separator and a third separator located between the negative electrode plate and the first separator are insulation layers. The first separator is connected to a communication chip. When the positive electrode plate or the negative electrode plate pierces the separator, an internal short circuit of the electrochemical cell may be caused. The communication chip may receive, in time, an electrical signal sent by the first separator, and report fault information to a battery management unit, so that safety in use of a battery is improved.
