COINPOWER | SAFETY 6.2.2 Venting Holes The cup of every CoinPower battery is designed with three venting holes around the circumference. (every 120 º ) In the normal state these venting holes are covered by the foil gasket on the inside. When subject to abuse (e.g. continuous overcharging) the lid will lift up and excessive pressure can be released through these holes.
COINPOWER | SAFETY 6.3 Protection Circuit Module (PCM) The Protection Circuit Module (PCM) is a device to protect a battery against the risk of abnormal events such as over-discharging or short circuits. This is mandatory for all Lithium cells. A PCM is not only used to protect the cells and applications from excessive discharge and recharge current, but also to maintain the nominal operating conditions for the cell and battery pack.
