BATTERY PACK WITH HIGH AND LOW CURRENT DISCHARGE TERMINALS

摘要

A battery pack that is capable of supplying high- and low-current discharge to end products. The battery pack includes a cylindrical housing with a lithium-ion battery cell enclosed within the housing. The housing also includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and a body portion. The first end portion includes a plurality of terminals for electrically connecting to the end product. The terminals include a high-current discharge terminal, a low-current discharge terminal, a battery pack identification terminal, a battery pack temperature terminal, and a positive voltage terminal. The second end portion includes a recess for removably securing the battery pack to an end product, such as a battery charger or a power tool. Included within the battery pack housing is circuitry for controlling the charging and discharging of the battery pack through the low-current discharge terminal.
