Abstract
A battery pack comprising: at least one battery including at least one electrode and at least one terminal in electrical connection with the electrode; a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising at least one layer having an electrical circuit in electrical connection with the at least one battery, the PCB including at least one PCB interconnect for electrical connection with the at least one battery; and at least one battery-pack interconnect in electrical connection with the at least one PCB interconnect and the at least one terminal of the battery. The PCB interconnect comprises a PCB-interconnect aperture formed therein and having an electrically conductive inner surface structured to receive the battery-pack interconnect for direct electrical connection between the two.
