Abstract
A rechargeable battery pack for portable electronic equipment is includes a battery coupled to a charge/discharge circuit and includes a a first substrate for mounting parts positioned on a high-current path and a second substrate for mounting peripheral circuits for controlling a charge/discharge of the battery. Accordingly, heat sensitive parts on low current paths may be thermally isolated from heat generating parts on high current paths.
Claims13
A battery pack, comprising:
- a battery having a positive (+) battery terminal and a negative (−) battery terminal, wherein the battery is chargeable using an external power source;
- a positive (+) battery pack terminal and a negative (−) battery pack terminal for coupling to the external power source, for charging the battery, and for supplying the power of the battery to an external load;
- a first substrate for mounting parts positioned on a high-current path between the positive (+) battery terminal and the positive (+) battery pack terminal or between the negative (−) battery terminal and the negative (−) battery pack terminal;
- and
- a second substrate for mounting peripheral circuits for controlling a charge/discharge of the battery spaced a distance from the first substrate, wherein the parts on the first substrate are in electrical signal connection with parts on the second substrate.

A battery pack, comprising:
- a battery;
- and
- a charge/discharge circuit in electrical communication with the battery, wherein the charge/discharge circuit comprises:
- an first substrate for mounting parts positioned on a high-current path;
- a second substrate for mounting low current flow parts, wherein the second substrate is spaced a distance from the first substrate sufficient to reduce effects of heat generated from the parts mounted on the first substrate on the low current flow parts;
- and
- an interlayer connector between the first substrate and the second substrate for providing electrical signal communication between the parts mounted on the first substrate and the parts mounted on the second substrate.
