<p>A self-contained electrical energy source apparatus, particularly embodied as a linear array of interconnected battery cells, includes a housing (6) having the cells (30, 32, 34, 36) linearly disposed therein. At the two ends (22, 24) of the housing, mechanical connectors (10,12) are provided for coupling with the apparatus to be energized by the energy source and for coupling with additional energy sources in a selectable electrical series and/or electrical parallel configurations. The electrical potential provided by the batteries within the housing is connected to both connectors through separate conductive paths (70) which include folded conductors (72) that permit the conductors to be deformed in response to forces that might act upon the conductors.</p> |
