Abstract:
1. A battery pack comprising: at least one battery including at least one electrode and at least one terminal in electrical connection with the at least one electrode; a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising at least one layer having an electrical circuit in electrical connection with the at least one battery, the PCB including at least one PCB interconnect for electrical connection with the at least one battery; and at least one battery-pack interconnect in electrical connection with the at least one terminal of the battery and the at least one PCB, the at least one battery-pack interconnect comprises a cell-contact pin electrically coupled to the at least one electrode of the at least one battery; wherein the at least one PCB interconnect comprises a PCB-interconnect aperture therein, said PCB-interconnect aperture having an electrically conductive inner surface electrically coupled with the at least one layer of the PCB, said PCB-interconnect aperture being structured and configured to receive the at least one battery-pack interconnect therein for a direct electrical connection between the at least one PCB interconnect and the at least one battery-pack interconnect;
