Because... Recharging and discharging rechargeable batteries
may, if carried out regardless of the battery cells' temperature,
result in degradation of batteries' original performance. To preserve battery performance, careful monitoring of
battery temperature is important. 
By monitoring
the battery temperature with thermistors, you can control recharging
and discharging and gain the following benefits:
-
The batteries' original
cycle life can be preserved.
-
Batteries can be economically
and effectively recharged.
-
Precise temperature measurement
with thermistors constitutes an indispensable part for displaying
the battery's remaining time.
Therefore... To secure the
battery's optimum performance and liability, use a thermistor in
a rechargeable battery.
Things we need... To monitor reliability, the temperature of rechargeable batteries,
you need NTC thermistors. We recommend SEMITEC® brand high
precision thermistors, the temperature sensing device known as
the most reliable and economical. SEMITEC® 's wide 6 choice of 9 types
present you with thermistors of all shapes and sizes; you will find
the most suited thermistors for your battery application.
How do we use thermistors?
The below drawings are examples of how to place SEMITEC® thermistors
on battery cells.
