The module includes a plurality of caps, wherein each cap is coupled to an end of a rechargeable battery of the plurality of rechargeable batteries and is electrically connected to one of the terminals of the rechargeable battery. The module also includes a connector on each cap connecting adjacent caps coupled to corresponding rechargeable batteries. The adjacent caps are moveable relative to the connector such that a curvature between the corresponding rechargeable batteries changes in a direction crossing the length direction.
