Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a battery for a mobile unit, comprising the steps of:forming a first one of an anode and a cathode in a shape substantially conforming to an outer shape of a storage portion of the mobile unit within which the battery is to be stored; coupling a connector to the battery for connecting the battery to circuitry of the mobile unit; coating the first one of the anode and the cathode with a protective material to create a battery pack; suspending the battery pack into a mold having a shape substantially corresponding to a first one of the anode and the cathode; injecting a liquid covering material into the mold to cover at least a portion of the battery pack; and cooling the covering material to form an outer surface of the storage portion of the mobile units, while preventing the covering material and the protective material from covering the connector.
