Abstract
A battery pack for a portable or notebook computer which substantially eliminates hard wiring components including a generally rectangular housing having an opening in the bottom. The opening in the bottom receives a support chassis which mounts a series of electrical contact points for interfacing with the main computer housing. The support chassis mounts a printed circuit board which receives the electrical contact points for electrical connection to the various components of the printed circuit board such that electrical connection is made between the array of batteries and the main computer housing utilizing a series of electrical surface contact points rather than hard wiring, which preserves space and reduces manufacturing costs.
