A flexible battery case with an insert mating to the tongue and groove joint to provide a stable platform for the controls, displays and peripheral connectors. Other connectors are disposed within a plastic housing and overmolded to create a waterproof seal. A charger is configured to execute a software program to confirm charger authorization to enable secondary battery charging and discharging. The control system is configured to monitor the integrity of a heating element and executes a software program to disable charging if the integrity of a heating element is compromised. A flexible substrate has a PCB on one side, and supports the individual battery cells and surface mount circuit boards on an opposite side. The flexible PCB substrate may be folded to sandwich an insulating layer therebetween.

Portable secondary battery

A high capacity battery charger includes multiple sockets to connect to a variety of different battery-receiving adapters. Each socket includes a multi-slot female connector and a planar flange that surrounds the connector for securing to a wiring harness and the top support deck of the charger chassis. A pivoting latch facilitates plugging and unplugging the multi-blade adapters into the sockets. An electromagnetic shield covers the power supply and includes a wing extending toward the central axis of a cooling fan.
