ABSTRACT:
A battery connection apparatus (116) has a housing (1706) with two ends (1708 and 1709) and a surface (1712) extending between the ends (1708, 1709). The housing (1706) is thin such that the surface (1712) is substantially larger in area than the ends (1708, 1709). A battery (1702) is disposed in the housing (1706). The apparatus (116) has mating projections (1722, 1800) extending from each end (1708 and 1709). The apparatus (116) also has contacts (1730-1733) located at the surface (1712) rather than at an end (1708 and 1709). The contacts (1730-1733) are electrically connected to the battery (1702). This apparatus (116) stands alone as a low profile battery pack, or may further include structure resident on an electronic device (100) to connect the battery (1702) to electronic circuitry (1700) of the electronic device (100) to realize a reduction in form factor thickness.
