Abstract

A device for electrical interconnection of cells of a battery pack through cell connectors, and a battery pack having the device and the cell connectors are provided. A plurality of cell connectors for connection of at least two cell poles are fitted on a mounting plate, electrically isolated from one another. Each cell connector has at least one flexible bracket which extends away from a connection area. The flexible brackets are coupled to the connection area through a resilient structure having a meandering shape.
