Heating assemblies for one or more rechargeable batteries include a flexible heating element positionable about the one or more rechargeable batteries, a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature adjacent the one or more rechargeable batteries, and a control circuit configured to receive the sensed temperature from the temperature sensor. The control circuit is configured to connect the charger to the flexible heating element for allowing power to flow from the charger to the flexible heating element in response to the sensed temperature adjacent the one or more rechargeable batteries falling below a defined threshold temperature. The temperature sensor is adjacent the flexible heating element. The flexible heating element is configured to receive power from a charger that is operable for charging the one or more rechargeable batteries. Systems including the one or more heating assemblies are also disclosed.

Heating assemblies and systems for rechargeable batteries

An antenna for a wireless device is provided. The antenna mounts on a substrate such as a printed circuit board. The antenna includes a carrier having sidewalls with inside surfaces defining an internal recess. A conductive trace resides on the carrier. The conductive trace having a first end and a second end opposite the first end with at least one lead extending from an end and extending the sidewall. The lead terminates in a hook that traversing the sidewall and has a portion extending along the inside surface of the internal recess. A locking clip is sized to fit in the internal recess and frictionally lock the portion between an outside surface of the locking clip and the inside surface of the internal recess such that the locking clip locks the portion, the at least one hook, the at least one lead, and the conductive trace in position on the carrier.
