Abstract
This disclosure generally relates to a rechargeable battery for electric vehicles. The rechargeable battery may include a housing that includes a first temperature sensor to sense a first temperature of a first power connection terminal of the rechargeable battery and a second temperature sensor within the housing to sense a second temperature of a second power connection terminal of the rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery may also include a battery management system located within the housing, where the battery management system causes a reduction in an amount of current through at least one of the first power connection terminal or the second power connection terminal when a temperature associated with at least one of the first power connection terminal or the second power connection terminal exceeds a threshold.
