Problem: Overcurrent / Overtemperature
PCB traces can over heat or be damaged by an overcurrent event from a malfunctioning battery.
Solution: PolySwitch devices.
PolySwitch devices help protects against overcurrent or overtemperature by thermally "tripping", which reduces the current flowing through the trace.
