Abstract

The present invention is an electrical circuit that disconnects an electrochemical cell from a load when the cell's voltage descends to a predetermined value. The present invention is also applicable to a battery configuration and its corresponding electrochemical cells. The predetermined value is designed to decrease the chance that the cell or battery will become unstable while connected to the load.
