BATTERY MONITORING MODULE

A battery monitoring module includes a printed circuit board including a first signal line, a second signal line, and a conductive pad, the conductive pad being configured to be connected to an electrode of a cell; an integrated circuit on the printed circuit board, the integrated circuit to measure a cell voltage at the cell and control cell balancing; a measuring interface on the printed circuit board and connected between the conductive pad and the integrated circuit, and providing a voltage measuring path; and a balancing circuit on the printed circuit board and connected between the conductive pad and the integrated circuit, the balancing circuit providing a discharge path for the cell. The first signal line may electrically connect the conductive pad to the measuring interface, and the second signal line may be physically separated from the first signal line, and electrically connect the conductive pad to the balancing circuit.
