Abstract
A battery pack for an electro-optical reader includes a rechargeable battery and a printed circuit board (PCB), both mounted in a battery housing. First and second electrical connectors are supported by the same PCB and/or the battery housing. The first electrical connector is connected to reader contacts in the reader when the battery pack is mounted in the reader. The second electrical connector is either connected to station contacts in a docking station when the reader is docked, or to a recharging cable.
