BATTERY DISCHARGE CURRENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND RELATED INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

Abstract:

A battery discharge current management system used for discharging battery packs. The battery discharge current management system has a voltage converting circuit and at least one switch module. The voltage converting circuit can operate at a charge mode or a discharge mode. The voltage converting circuit can serve to discharge battery packs so as to provide a master discharge current signal to other devices when it operates at the discharge mode. The voltage converting circuit further controls the at least one switch module to discharge the battery packs so as to provide at least one additional discharge current signal.
