Abstract
A battery connector including a conductive plate configured to contact a first battery and a second battery so as to electrically connect the first battery and the second battery to each other, an upper fixer configured to be coupled the first battery, and a lower fixer configured to be coupled to the second battery.
Claims9
A battery connector comprising:
- a conductive plate configured to contact a first battery and a second battery so as to electrically connect the first battery and the second battery to each other, the conductive plate not having a through-hole;
- an upper fixer configured to be coupled to the first battery;
- and
- a lower fixer configured to be coupled to the second battery,
- wherein the lower fixer comprises a fixing latch extending downwards from a lower surface of the conductive plate, and
- wherein the fixing latch is configured to be inserted into a recess formed in a top cap of the second battery, whereby the fixing latch is coupled to the second battery.

A battery connector comprising:
- a conductive plate configured to contact a first battery and a second battery so as to electrically connect the first battery and the second battery to each other, the conductive plate not having a through-hole;
- an upper fixer configured to be coupled to the first battery;
- and
- a lower fixer configured to be coupled to the second battery,
- wherein the conductive plate is configured to contact a negative electrode terminal of the first battery and to contact a positive electrode terminal of the second battery, and
- wherein the upper fixer comprises:
- an extension member extending upwards from an upper surface of the conductive plate;
- and
- a fixing protrusion formed on an inside of the extension member, the fixing protrusion configured to be coupled to a groove or a step formed at a negative electrode side of the first battery.
