  • Publication number: 20220115714
    Abstract: The battery pack includes a battery pack housing operably connectable to a power tool, at least two pouch-type battery cells disposed in a cell holder, a set of battery pack terminals electrically connectable to a set of power tool terminals of the power tool and electrically connected to the at least two pouch-type battery cells, and a lead collection printed circuit board. The lead collection printed circuit board is configured to be disposed forward of a front wall of the cell holder and positioned at a predetermined distance, along a longitudinal axis of the battery pack, from the set of battery pack terminals. The battery pack also includes a state of charge printed circuit board configured to determine a state of charge of one or more battery cells in the battery pack, and a battery management system printed circuit board configured to control the operation of the battery pack.

  • Publication number: 20220029212
    Abstract: A battery is provided including a printed circuit board (PCB) having an array of PCB slots extending from a first side of the PCB to a second side of the PCB, the array of PCB slots having first and second column of PCB slots generally parallel to and adjacent to each other, the PCB slots of the first column being offset from the PCB slots of the second column. The first column of PCB slots has at least first PCB second PCB slots and the second column of PCB slots has at least first and second PCB slots. A distance between the first PCB slot of the first column and a second PCB slot of the first column is greater than a distance between the first PCB slot of the second column and the second PCB slot of the second column.
