Multicell rechargeable batteries perform better when each cell receives protection from voltage surges and overcurrent events. This block diagram indicates which Littelfuse components offer solutions. In addition to TVS diode arrays and resettable PPTC devices, we offer NTC thermistors and reflowable thermal protectors/battery mini breakers to prevent thermal damage.
