Description

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of batteries, and in particular, to a battery control circuit, a battery, and an electronic device.

BACKGROUND

With rapid development of a battery fast charging technology, batteries have higher and higher requirements on high-power charging. During high-current charging, a temperature rise of a battery is required to be as low as possible, which poses a great challenge to a design of a charging protection apparatus.

An existing fast charging design uses advantages of a three-tab battery core, which can effectively shorten a charging path of a high current on the charging protection apparatus, thereby reducing impedance and reducing heat generation. An implementation method is that there are two flexible printed circuits (FPCs) on the charging protection apparatus to connect a mobile phone terminal. Positive electrodes of the two FPCs are connected to a positive nickel plate of the charging protection apparatus through shortest paths. Negative electrodes of the two FPCs are connected to switching metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs) and then are connected to negative nickel plates of the charging protection apparatus to form a charging and discharging circuit.

At present, a metal housing of a battery core of a battery has negative polarity, an electronic device compartment (that is, an area where the battery is mounted) is connected to ground of an electronic device system, and the ground of the system has the negative polarity, so the electronic device compartment has the negative polarity. For safety, the metal housing has to adopt a complete insulation solution, that is, a thickness of the battery core is increased, which leads to loss of battery core capacity.

It may be understood that the first protection circuit and the second protection circuit are double protection circuits independent from each other, which are configured to protect the battery core 100 at the same time. When one of the protection circuit fails to protect, the other can protect the battery core 100. In a case that both the first protection circuit and the second protection circuit work normally, the first protection circuit may perform a protection action first, particularly, a voltage protection function.

After the first switch S2, the second switch S3, the third switch S1, and the fourth switch S4 are all turned on, a charging and discharging circuit from the first battery port 2225 and the second battery port 2226 to the battery core 100 is connected, and a charging or discharging may be performed.
