Abstract
A system for managing the temperature of a battery, may include a battery configured to store electrical energy; a temperature-increase heater configured to convert the electrical energy stored in the battery into thermal energy to increase the temperature of the battery; a temperature-increase heater relay configured to connect or disconnect an electrical energy path provided from the battery to the temperature-increase heater; a thermal fuse configured to disconnect the electrical energy path when the temperature of the battery is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference temperature; and a controller configured to induce disconnection of the thermal fuse by increasing the temperature of the battery to the reference temperature or higher using the thermal energy converted by the temperature-increase heater, when the temperature-increase heater relay is fused.
