ABSTRACT:
A battery pack having rechargeable secondary batteries housed in a battery casing. The battery pack includes hollow tubular-shaped anodic and cathodic terminals in a right upper void and in a left upper void, respectively, of the battery casing. The voids are produced by housing the cylindrical first and second secondary batteries in the battery casing. An anodic terminal connecting pin and a cathodic terminal connecting pin are provided on an external equipment for fitting in and connecting with the anodic terminal and the cathodic terminal, respectively. Since there is no necessity for providing a particular mounting space for the anodic and cathodic terminals, the battery pack may be reduced in size, while the battery pack may be reliably supported with respect to the external equipment in a manner free from wobbling or detachment from the external equipment.
