Abstract
A battery pack comprising a battery cell having electrode terminals formed on an upper surface of the battery cell, and a protective circuit module (PCM) block mounted on the battery cell, wherein one or more connecting holes for electrical connection between the battery cell and the PCM block are perforated through the PCM block such that a connecting portion between the battery cell and the PCM block is exposed to the outside of the upper surface of the battery cell. The battery pack is lighter, compacter and miniaturized, thereby allowing an electronic device employing the battery pack to be reduced in an overall size, enhancing workability through a simplified assembling process, reducing manufacturing costs through reduction of the number of components, and enhancing productivity through reduction of the number of operating steps by eliminating additional installation steps.
