Battery pack with attached system module

A battery system comprising:

• a battery, wherein the battery includes a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal accessible along a first surface of the battery;
• and
• a module electrically coupled with the battery, the module comprising:
• a circuit board characterized by a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
• a mold extending from the first surface of the circuit board toward the battery,
• a first conductive tab electrically coupling the module with the first electrode terminal, and
• a second conductive tab electrically coupling the module with the second electrode terminal, wherein the second conductive tab extends across the mold substantially parallel to the first surface of the circuit board.

A battery system comprising:

• a battery characterized by a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface, wherein the second surface and the third surface are substantially parallel to one another, wherein the first surface of the battery extends between the second surface and the third surface, and wherein the first surface comprises a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal;
• a module coupled with the first surface of the battery and comprising a circuit board characterized by a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the module comprises:
• a mold extending from the first surface of the circuit board toward the battery,
• a first conductive tab extending from the second surface of the circuit board to the first electrode terminal, and
• a second conductive tab extending from the second surface of the circuit board to the second electrode terminal;
• and
• a flexible coupling extending from the second surface of the circuit board.
