Abstract: A battery pack is disclosed and includes a battery housing, a core housing disposed within the battery housing, at least one pouch cell disposed within the core housing, a flexible circuit extending along an inner surface of the core housing, and a temperature sensor operably coupled to the flexible circuit.

Abstract: A battery pack is disclosed and includes a core case, an outer housing, and a fastener. The core includes an interior cavity and at least two lobes. The lobes project outwardly away from the interior cavity. The outer housing surrounds the core case and includes a set of protrusions that fit between the two lobes of the core case. The fastener extends through the lobes and protrusion.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a housing defining an interior volume, a cell pack assembly positioned within the interior, a printed circuit board electrically connected to battery cells, electrical contacts in communication with the battery cells via the printed circuit board and providing electrical power to an external device and a detector in electrical communication with the printed circuit board. The cell pack assembly includes battery cells that collectively define a volume, wherein each battery cell includes a body, an anode extending from the body, and a cathode extending from the body. The body of each cell is configured to expand and contract. When the detector determines that the volume of the battery cells meets or exceeds a threshold volume, the detector is configured to generate a signal configured to warn the operator of a status of the stack or stop current from flowing to and from the battery cells.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a housing, a flexible button, and a switch. The housing includes an opening and a groove. The groove is disposed at least partially about the opening. The flexible button is molded onto the housing in the opening. The flexible button includes a user engagement portion, a sidewall, a lip, and a post. The sidewall extends from the user engagement portion into the housing. The lip extends laterally from the sidewall. The lip includes a ridge protruding into the groove of the housing. The post extends from the user engagement portion. The switch is disposed in the housing. The switch is positioned to be engaged by the post.

Abstract: A battery pack is disclosed and includes a battery housing, a core housing disposed within the battery housing, and at least one pouch cell disposed within the core housing, the pouch cells including at least one corner, wherein the core housing includes a baseplate, at least one sidewall extending from the baseplate, and a rear wall extending from the baseplate to the sidewall, wherein the rear wall meets the sidewall at a partial-cylindrical corner and wherein the partial-cylindrical corner provides clearance for the corner of the pouch cell.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a control circuit board, a first cell, a second cell, a fuse, and a strap. The first cell has a first terminal electrically coupled to the control circuit board. The second cell is electrically coupled to the first cell and has a second terminal. The fuse electrically couples the second terminal to the control circuit board. The fuse is positioned between the second terminal and the control circuit board. The strap is electrically insulative and molded to the fuse. The strap electrically isolates the fuse from the first cell.

Abstract: A battery pack is configured to be coupled to an electrical device. The battery pack includes a battery cell; a printed circuit board (PCB) having a metal base layer; and an intermediate layer positioned between the battery cell and the PCB, the intermediate layer including a first section formed of a first material and a second section formed of a second material, the first material having a lower thermal conductivity than the second material.

Abstract: A battery pack has a housing, a core box, a stack of pouch cells, an end plate, battery pack terminals, and a circuit board. The core box is disposed in the housing and has a support surface. The stack of pouch cells are supported by the support surface. Each pouch cell has cell tabs that extend from a common side of the pouch cell. The end plate has slots, and the cell tabs extend through the slots. The battery pack terminals are electrically connected to the stack of pouch cells and can be electrically connected to an electrical device. The circuit board is coupled to the core box opposite the support surface. The circuit board is electrically connected to the stack of pouch cells and the battery pack terminals. The core box, the end plate, and the circuit board cooperate to enclose the stack of pouch cells.

Abstract: A battery pack including a housing having a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion. The first portion has a first wall and an interface extends from the first wall. The interface includes a plurality of terminal apertures that provide access to electrical terminals within the housing. The second portion has a second wall, and the second wall is positioned opposite the first wall. A first plurality of vents extends through the first wall and a second plurality of vents extends through the second wall. A cumulative surface area of the first plurality of vents is different than a cumulative surface area of the second plurality of vents.
