Abstract
An enclosure 12 for a disposable battery pack 10 for a cordless power tool consists of a pair of end caps 26, 28 retained on the opposite ends of the pack by a central sleeve 30 of adhesive tape. The end caps are of unitary construction, formed from thin plastic sheet, and include raised terminal covers 32, 34, 36 for shielding exposed terminals 20, 22, 24 from inadvertent outside contact. Each terminal cover has a severable tip 50 which is removed when the pack is to be used, to provide an opening 56 for insertion of a terminal connector 60.
