HIGH-SIDE BATTERY CELL PROTECTION

A system may include a battery, a protection field-effect transistor electrically coupled to a first terminal of the battery, such that when the protection field-effect transistor is deactivated, substantially zero electrical current flows to and from the battery, and a battery management system electrically coupled to the protection field-effect transistor and configured to sense a first voltage across the protection field-effect transistor and control the protection field-effect transistor based on the first voltage.
