A battery protection device protects a battery from an abnormal state. The
battery protection device includes a detector that detects an abnormality
of the battery and outputs an abnormality detection signal when the
abnormality is detected. A current is input to an input terminal from
outside. A voltage converter converts the current input to the input
terminal to voltage and outputs the voltage. A combiner combines the
abnormality detection signal with the voltage and outputs a combined
signal. A current converter converts the combined signal to a current. An
output terminal outputs the current.
