Single-Cell Battery Protection

Protecting rechargeable single-cell batteries from voltage surges and overcurrent events promotes safety and efficiency. Consult this block diagram to identify Littelfuse components that help achieve those outcomes. Options include TVS diode arrays and resettable PPTC devices. We also make NTC thermistors that sense temperatures and prevent thermal damage to cells and circuits.
