Abstract

A battery pack for a notebook PC includes a substrate and several batteries. Several batteries are secured to a substrate and housed by a wrap material. The battery pack is connected to its corresponding connector of a notebook by a battery connector. The batteries are electrically connected to the battery connector. A fuse slot set, containing two contacts, is designed in the battery connector. When the fuse is inserted into the fuse slot set, the two contacts are electrically connected with each other so that the batteries are electrically connected to the corresponding connector of the notebook PC. When the fuse is removed from the fuse slot set, the two contacts are insulated from each other so that the batteries are electrically disconnected from the corresponding connector of the notebook PC.
