Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

[Object] To prevent elements in a pack main body and an electronic apparatus from malfunctioning even if the pack main body having an outer shape line-symmetric in up and down directions and left- and right-hand directions is incorrectly attached. [Solving Means] There are provided a pack main body 11 installing the battery cell 29 and a terminal portion 12 constituted of a plus terminal 12 a , a minus terminal 12 b , and a control terminal 12 c that are provided on a front surface 11 c of the pack main body 11 . The plus terminal 12 a , the minus terminal 12 b , and the control terminal 12 c are provided so as to be deviated to one end portion 11 f in a width direction of the front surface 11 c and arranged in an order of the plus terminal 12 a , the control terminal 12 c , and the minus terminal 12 b . The sizes of the control terminal 12 c , the plus terminal 12 a , and the minus terminal 12 b are increased in an order of the control terminal 12 c , the plus terminal 12 a , and the minus terminal 12 b such that the control terminal 12 c is formed to be the smallest. While being attachable to various electronic apparatuses, the pack main body can ensure a sufficient mechanical strength.
