Each of said battery cells comprise a positive and a negative terminal on opposite sides of the battery cell, the battery cells being electrically connected in series with each other, wherein the terminals of the plurality of battery cells are arranged on two opposite sides of the battery pack such that positive and negative terminals of the consecutive battery cells are on both sides of the battery pack by turns next to each other. The battery pack further comprises a first and a second printed circuit board portion arranged on said two opposite sides of the battery pack, respectively. The first and the second printed circuit board portions comprise connection interfaces arranged next to the terminals of the battery cells. The first and the second printed circuit board portions comprise signal traces connected to the terminals of the battery cells via the connection interfaces. The battery pack further comprises a third printed circuit board portion arranged next to the battery cells and extending between the first and the second printed circuit board portions, such that the battery cells are located in a channel defined by the first, the second and the third printed circuit board portions. The third printed circuit board portion comprises a battery pack condition management unit connected to the signal traces of the first and the second printed circuit board portion.
