Abstract
A battery pack (), which includes: a housing; a frame disposed inside the housing; and two or more cells () mounted to the frame. The two or more cells () are connected with each other through a configurable connector (). The configurable connector () is suitable to connect or disconnect an electrical connection between the two or more cells (). Wherein the configurable connector () includes a user contactable switch () located on an outer surface () of the housing. The user contactable switch () is configured to move within a plane parallel to the outer surface (), such that the contactable connector () is switched between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the electrical connection exists between the two or more cells (); in the second state, the electrical connection does not exist between the two or more cells (). Therefore, the battery pack () may disconnect a connection of the internal circuit thereof in non-use state, such as shipping and storing, such that the battery pack () can disconnect its internal circuit in the non-use state such as transportation and storage, such that the loss caused by the self-discharging may be minimized and the safety hazard may be avoided at the same time.
