Abstract:
A battery pack containing 8 battery of cells includes an outer casing (402) adapted to receive a battery of cells (404): a bonding surface (410) positioned along the outer casing (402); a inner casing (408) adapted to encapsulate the battery of cells (404) and having a surface for bonding to the bonding surface of the outer casing (402): and a bond provided at the bonding surface to bond the inner casing (408) to the outer casing (402). Also, a method for forming a battery pack comprises steps of positioning a battery of cells within a bonding surface of an outer casing of the battery pack: encapsulating the battery of cells with an inner casing, the inner casing having a surface corresponding to the bonding surface of the outer casing; and bonding the corresponding surface of the inner casing to the bonding surface of the outer casing. The battery pack and method for forming the battery pack reduce the weight and complexity in manufacturing.
Abstract:
A consumer insertable battery pack assembly (70) comprises a plurality of substantially parallelepiped shaped rechargeable cells (61, 62 and 63) having a positive terminal (68) and a negative terminal. The positive terminal of one cell is coupled to the negative terminal of an adjacent cell. Insulation (17) is used on at least one of the terminals of the cells to offset the terminal location to prevent the charging of consumer insertable primary cells. The cells are within a housing (74) having contacts (76 and 86) for charging being arranged and constructed to mate with the offset terminals of the cells. In this manner, the cells are unable to mate with the terminals of consumer inserted primary cells having centrally located terminals.
Abstract:
A battery pack comprises a first housing member (104) having an integrated latch feature (103), a header frame (111) detachably mounted to the first housing member, a plurality of cells (112) for insertion into the header frame and first housing member, circuitry on the header for coupling the plurality of cells and providing charger and power contacts, and a second housing member (102) being substantially laminar and being adhesively attached to said first housing member.
