  • Flexible circuit with tabs for connection to battery cells
    Patent number: 6153834
    Abstract: Described is a flexible circuit for a battery cell where the tabs of the flexible circuit have two or more perpendicular axis of bending. The multiple axes of bending allow the flexible circuit to be placed atop a battery cell, and both tabs of the flexible circuit can then be pinch (series) welded to the tabs of the battery cell. This results in a strong, predictable weld, and a more durable, reliable, electronic product.
