Flexible circuit board configurable for use with different types of battery packs

摘要

A flexible circuit board includes a plurality of discrete circuits for use with different types of rechargeable battery packs. Conductive traces formed on the circuit board include gaps which cause certain portions of the circuitry to be disconnected from the circuit rendering that portion of the circuit inactive. The process of bridging the gaps by attaching one or more components over the gaps causes the corresponding inactive portion of the circuit to be activated. By selectively activating certain portions of the circuit, a desired result is obtained.
