Abstract
A battery pack system for use in connecting a battery pack to a battery pack receiving member of a machine so that the battery pack is operable to supply a suitable amount of power to the machine for operation of the machine via an electrical circuit path that is configurable for electrically connecting the battery pack to the machine, the system including: a first electrical connector member disposed along a first region of the electrical circuit path; and a second electrical connector member; wherein, responsive to the battery pack being connected to the battery pack receiving member of the machine, the second electrical connector member is configured for movement relative to the first electrical connector member to cooperatively form a first configuration which electrically closes the electrical circuit path via which the suitable amount of power is able to be supplied from the battery pack to the machine; and wherein, responsive to the battery pack being disconnected from the battery pack receiving member of the machine, the second electrical connector member is configured for movement relative to the first electrical connector member to cooperatively form a second configuratio…
