Abstract
A one-piece housing for a rectangular battery cell with circuitry disposed on its side is described. The top side of the housing is a protective ledge, covering only the circuitry disposed on the side of the battery cell, where the ledge lies in or below the imaginary plane formed by the top surface of the cell. The housing protects the battery circuitry, is easier to manufacture than a two-part housing, is lighter than a two-part housing, and has a lower profile.
