ABSTRACT:
A battery pack has a plurality of slits located on an edge surface of the pack. Electrical terminals are positioned completely within the boundaries of the slits to protect the battery pack from electrical shorts in the event the pack comes into contact with an extraneous metal object, such as a coin or key. The slits extend all the way thorugh the battery pack, from the bottom surface to the top surface, such that the slits are open on three sides. This permits the battery pack to be attached to and detached from a mating connector in any one of three directions; specifcally, perpendicular to the upper surface of the battery pack, perpendicular to the lower surface of the pack, and perpendicular to the edge surface.
