Abstract
A connector is disclosed for a battery having upper and lower terminals. The connector is in the form of a flexible circuit that is bent around one side of the battery, and includes an upper section overlying the upper terminal of the battery and a lower section below the lower terminal of the battery. The upper and lower sections of the flexible circuit have conductors thereon that engage the battery terminals. The conductors extend to a connecting section of the flexible circuit to make electrical contact with the conductors of an electronic component.
