Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide a battery pack that includes a housing and a plurality of battery cells. The housing includes a support portion that is configured to removably connect to a device, such as a cordless, hand-held power tool. The battery pack is configured to electrically and/or communicatively connect to a device through at least one terminal. The at least one terminal can include a high-current discharge terminal and a common ground terminal. The battery pack is also configured to electrically and/or communicatively connect to device through a low-current discharge terminal and the common ground terminal. A current limiting circuit is connected between the plurality of battery cells and the low-current discharge terminal to limit the discharge current from the low-current discharge terminal. Both the high-current discharge terminal and the low-current discharge terminal provide the same value for output voltage (e.g., 18V).
