Abstract

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for detecting and controlling a battery status by using a sensor, and an electronic device using the same, the electronic device comprising: a housing; an accommodation part arranged inside the housing and including at least one gas sensor; a battery arranged inside the housing; a memory for storing information, acquired by the at least one gas sensor, on gas leaked from the battery and operation control information of the electronic device; and a processor electrically connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to acquire a detection signal of gas leaked from the battery by using the at least one gas sensor, and control the operation of at least a part of the electronic device and/or charging characteristics of the battery when the acquired gas detection signal exceeds a predetermined threshold value, so as to detect, in real time, a gas leakage of the battery occurring because of the exposure of the electronic device to high temperature or heat generation and control the battery status, thereby preventing safety accidents caused by the battery. Other various embodiments in addition to the disclosed various embodiments in the present invention are possible.
