description An apparatus and method for mitigating the abrupt release of energy due to a short circuit or other fault external to battery modules in a battery pack is disclosed. The battery pack comprises a plurality of series-connected battery modules. Each battery module includes a plurality of weakened fusible links (56a), which connect an associated plurality of parallel-connected cells (5) to a first or second busbar (46a, 46b), and a plurality of non-weakened fusible links (56), which connect an associated plurality of parallel-connected cells (5) to a third or fourth busbar (46a, 46b). In the event of a fault the shortened arcing time across the weakened fusible links prevents catastrophic damage to the battery. A photodetector detects the presence of an arc across the weakened fusible links, and an electronic load control unit closes a bypass switch to bypass the battery module if an arc is detected.
