    Abstract: A molded housing may enclose an electronic component and include an electrically conductive contact component embedded within an exterior wall to conduct electricity between an interior and an exterior of the casing. The contact component may include two knurled areas separated by a recessed groove. The knurled areas and recessed groove may be coplanar with the exterior wall. The knurled areas and recessed groove may form an interface with the molded casing to seal the casing against ingress of liquid into the interior. The molded casing may include an upper housing and a lower housing formed from a combination of a rigid member and a flexible member. The rigid member may have a plurality of rigid regions, and the flexible member may have a plurality of flexible regions formed between neighboring rigid regions. The flexible member may be molded onto the rigid member using a two-shot injection molding process. In some examples, the contact component may be secured to a contact carrier, where the contact carrier is then secured to the exterior housing.

    Abstract: A molded housing of a conformal wearable battery (CWB) encloses an electronic component and include an electrically conductive contact component embedded within an exterior wall to conduct electricity between an interior and an exterior of the casing. A flexible printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) for a conformal wearable battery (CWB) is enclosed in a cavity within the molded housing and includes attachment sections for a plurality of battery cells that are arranged in a grid-like pattern on a same side of the flexible PCBA. A visco-elastic shock-absorbing member installed between the upper and lower portion of the flexible PCBA when configured in a folded configuration. Each battery cell is joined to the flexible PCBA via a welding process. Each battery cell has a visco-elastic shock-absorbing member attached individually to each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells. When folded to fit within the cavity of the molded housing, the flexible PCBA forms a three-dimensional grid of physical components comprising at least the battery cell modules.

    Abstract: A battery runtime extender may be configured to provide electrical power to an electronic device via electrical terminals disposed internally to the electronic device, such as within a battery compartment. The battery runtime extender may physically mount to the electronic device via fasteners associated with the battery compartment of the electronic device, where the battery runtime extender forms a seal between the housing of the battery runtime extender and the battery compartment of the electronic device that is resistant to ingress of water and/or dust. The electronic device may be configured to be mounted to equipment worn by or otherwise carried by an individual, such as a protective helmet. The battery runtime extender further provides electrical power capacity greater than would be provided by battery cells installed within the battery compartment.
