Abstract

A battery pack including: a plurality of battery cells; conductive tabs, each of which has a first portion electrically connected to at least one of the battery cells, and a second portion extending from the first portion; conductive lines electrically connected to the second portions of the conductive tabs; and a protective circuit module electrically connected to the conductive lines. Each of the conductive tabs includes a conductive line holding portion formed at the second portion, to fix the corresponding conductive line. Due to this constitution of the battery pack, the conductive lines are prevented from entirely escaping from the area of solder joints with the conductive tabs, after being disconnected from the solder joints. Therefore, the conductive lines do not come into contact with the battery cells or circuits of the protective circuit module.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A battery pack comprising:
a plurality of battery cells;
a plurality of conductive tabs, wherein each conductive tab is electrically connected to one of the battery cells, and wherein each conductive tab comprises a conductive line holding portion;
a plurality of conductive lines, wherein a particular conductive line is electrically connected to a particular conductive tab, and wherein the particular conductive line is connected by press fit into the con…
