Abstract
A battery module including multiple battery packs having electrode terminals and bypass terminals. The battery packs are compactly arranged end to end within the module with a first end of a forward battery pack proximate a second end of a rearward battery pack. Positive and negative electrode terminals at the first end of a battery pack are electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of a battery contained within an outer casing. Auxiliary terminals at the first end are each connected to a corresponding auxiliary terminal at the second end by an individual conductive element, such as a thin ribbon conductor running along the casing just inside its outer layer. The positive and negative terminals at the first end of a forward battery pack mate with auxiliary terminals at the second end of an adjacent rearward battery pack to retain the packs together and route the electrode connections of the forward battery pack to terminals at the first end of the rearward battery pack where they can be accessed along with the electrodes of the rearward pack.
