Conformal wearable battery and system

A conformal wearable battery comprising:

• a plurality of battery cells, each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells comprising:
• a lithium-ion pouch cell;
• and
• an attenuating member affixed to an exterior surface of the lithium-ion pouch cell;
• at least one circuitry module configured to control and monitor charging and discharging of the plurality of battery cells;
• a flexible printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) comprising:
• a plurality of physical connection sections disposed in a grid-like pattern, wherein each of the plurality of battery cells and the at least one circuitry module is physically affixed to the flexible PCBA at a corresponding physical connection section of the plurality of physical connection sections;
• a plurality of flexible regions distributed between the physical connection sections disposed in the grid-like pattern, wherein the plurality of flexible regions allows the conformal wearable battery to flex in response to an applied force;
• and
• a plurality of electrical connection pad pairs, wherein each pad pair of the plurality of electrical connection pad pairs is associated with a corresponding physical connection section and is positioned parallel to a corresponding flexible region;
• and
• a sealed flexible housing,
• wherein each pad pair of the plurality of electrical connection pad pairs is positioned adjacent and parallel to a corresponding flexible region,
• wherein a first pair of electrically conductive elements of a first battery cell is electrically connected to a first electrical connection pad pair via a pair of cutouts and a second pair of electrically conductive elements of a second battery cell is electrically connected to adjacent pads of a second electrical connection pad pair around an edge of the flexible PCBA,
• wherein the flexible PCBA is disposed within an interior cavity of the sealed flexible housing, and
• wherein the flexible PCBA is in a folded configuration.
