PRODUCTION DATA.
The high-current path begins at the PACK+ terminal of the battery pack. As charge current travels through the pack, it finds its way through protection FETs, a chemical fuse, the lithium-ion cells and cell connections, and the sense resistor, and then returns to the PACK– terminal (see Figure 22). In addition, some components are placed across the PACK+ and PACK– terminals to reduce effects from electrostatic discharge.
