Abstract
A battery is provided including a printed circuit board (PCB) having an array of PCB slots extending from a first side of the PCB to a second side of the PCB, the array of PCB slots having first and second column of PCB slots generally parallel to and adjacent to each other, the PCB slots of the first column being offset from the PCB slots of the second column. The first column of PCB slots has at least first PCB second PCB slots and the second column of PCB slots has at least first and second PCB slots. A distance between the first PCB slot of the first column and a second PCB slot of the first column is greater than a distance between the first PCB slot of the second column and the second PCB slot of the second column.
Claims23
A battery, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) having an array of PCB slots extending from a first side of the PCB to a second side of the PCB, the array of PCB slots having a first column of PCB slots and a second column of PCB slots generally parallel to and adjacent to the first column of PCB slots, the PCB slots of the first column of PCB slots being offset from the PCB slots of the second column of PCB slots in a direction of the first and second columns of PCB slots;
- the first column of PCB slots having at least a first PCB slot and a second PCB slot and the second column of PCB slots having at least a first PCB slot and a second PCB slot;
- wherein a distance between the first PCB slot of the first column and a second PCB slot of the first column is greater than a distance between the first PCB slot of the second column and the second PCB slot of the second column.
A battery pack, comprising:
- a battery cell holder having an array of slots extending from an interior side of a first wall to an exterior side of the first wall, the array having a first column of a plurality of slots and a second column of a plurality of slots generally parallel and adjacent to the first column of slots, the slots of the first column of slots being offset from the slots of the second column of slots in a direction of the columns;
- the first column of slots having a first slot and a second slot and the second column of slots having a first slot and a second slot;
- wherein a distance between a major axis of the first slot of the first column and a major axis of the second slot of the first column is greater than a distance between a major axis of the first slot of the second column and a major axis of the second slot of the second column.
