An electric battery assembly 100 comprises a plurality of electric batteries 10 arranged in an array, an interconnection 40, 50 for connecting batteries in the array to provide a common power output L, and a plurality of shock absorbent housings 20, wherein each electric battery is provided within a shock absorbent housing. The shock absorbent housing 20 may have the form of a blister, which may be flexible and which may be filled with a shock-mitigating material 24, such as air or a shear-thickening material. The shock absorbent housings 20 may be affixed to conductive flexible substrates 40, 50, which may be in the form of a mesh and provide the electrical interconnection. This arrangement is particularly useful in providing a planar flexible array of button cell batteries, which are resistant to shocks or impacts. |
