Zusammenfassung:	Battery protection circuit configurations are discussed which are detachable from the corresponding battery when the battery is scrapped or discarded. An apparatus includes a circuit substrate having interface elements configured to couple to tab terminals of a battery cell and output terminals configured to carry electrical current for the battery cell with respect to an external circuit. Each of the interface elements comprise an electrical contact that conductively contacts a mating tab terminal of the battery cell, and a releasable mechanism configured to hold the mating tab terminal against the electrical contact based at least on being placed in a locked state, and allow release the mating tab terminal based at least on being placed in an unlocked state.
