A battery pack configured to prevent excess solder material from flowing down onto a protective circuit module (PCM) is disclosed. According to some aspects, the battery pack includes at least one battery cell, a protective circuit module (PCM) electrically connected to the battery cell, and a conductive tab configured to electrically connect the battery cell to the PCM. A tapered through hole is formed in the PCM so that the conductive tab is inserted into and fixed to the through hole.
