The battery pack including a safety switch and a controller for selectively placing the bat­ tery cells in electrical communication with the one lead. Where the controller is in operable communica­ tion with the safety switch such that when the con­ troller detects one or more operating conditions the controller instructs the safety switch to electrically isolate the lead from the battery cells. The battery pack also includes a manual switch, and where activ­ ation of the switch causes the controller to instruct the safety switch to electrically isolate the lead from the battery cells.
