Summary:The invention refers to a charge/discharge protection circuit for a rechargeable battery which is protected by a fusible link, where the rechargeable battery comprises a control logic which opens or closes a load switch depending on the magnitude of the battery voltage, the voltage on the charge/discharge terminals of the protection circuit and the charge/discharge current. The protection circuit is designed so that the electric strength needs to match only the actual maximum battery voltage, thus requiring little real estate on an IC chip and also allowing most components to be integrated.
