Abstract
Thermal sensor for a battery. In an exemplary embodiment of a battery docking connector of the present disclosure, the connector comprises exposed battery contacts, and a circuit sensor electrically coupled to the exposed battery contacts for sensing the temperature at the exposed battery contacts, wherein the circuit sensor is configured to switch off an electrical load coupled thereto once a threshold temperature has been reached, to prevent overheating of a battery providing power to the electrical load.
