10 Claims

1. A method of measuring the temperature of a battery having an internally disposed thermal protection arrangement comprising:

providing at least one sensor holder having an electrode side and a housing side disposed within a housing, with at least one cavity provided on the electrode side;

providing at least one temperature sensor placed in the at least one cavity of the at least one sensor holder, the outer surface of the at least one temperature sensor being flush with the remaining surface of the at least one sensor holder, and wherein the at least one temperature sensor has no contact with a polymer porous separator of the battery;

attaching the at least one sensor holder to one of a first electrode or a second electrode of the battery;

coupling the at least one temperature sensor to a header, wherein the header has a plurality of pins on the outside surface of the housing;

connecting a reader to the plurality of pins of the header; and

measuring the temperature of the battery.
