Abstract:
A battery pack comprises a set of battery cells, a battery cell holder holding the battery cells, at least one battery strap having a first end connected to a terminal of one of the battery cells and a second end extending from the battery cell holder, a printed circuit board having a first side and a second side, components mounted on the second side of the printed circuit board, a trace on the second side of the printed circuit board extending from one components to a contact connected to the trace and mated with the second end of the at least one battery strap. Multiple vias extend from the first side to the second side, and the contact comprises a first portion having a through hole and a leg integrally formed with and approximately perpendicular to the first portion, the leg extending from the first side of the PCB to the second side of the PCB through a first via, the trace extending from the first via, the leg soldered to the second side of the PCB and the via and the through hole aligned with a second via adjacent to the first via, the through hole sized and configured to receive a PCB end of the strap, the PCB end of the strap soldered to the contact.
