Patent attributes
A battery pack (20), which includes: a housing; a frame disposed inside the housing; and two or more cells (32) mounted to the frame. The two or more cells (32) are connected with each other through a configurable connector (52). The configurable connector (52) is suitable to connect or disconnect an electrical connection between the two or more cells (32). Wherein the configurable connector (52) includes a user contactable switch (22) located on an outer surface (21) of the housing. The user contactable switch (22) is configured to move within a plane parallel to the outer surface (21), such that the contactable connector (52) is switched between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the electrical connection exists between the two or more cells (32); in the second state, the electrical connection does not exist between the two or more cells (32). Therefore, the battery pack (20) may disconnect a connection of the internal circuit thereof in non-use state, such as shipping and storing, such that the battery pack (20) can disconnect its internal circuit in the non-use state such as transportation and storage, such that the loss caused by the self-discharging may be minimized and the safety hazard may be avoided at the same time.
