A battery adapter (100) and method (800) of making the same. The battery adapter (100) includes a resilient tray (102) that defines a receiving area (104) for one or more batteries (106) and includes one or more resilient sidewalls (108) of a resilient material configured to be compressed by the batteries (106). The battery adapter (100) further includes a flexible circuit (132) wrapped around at least a portion of an exterior of the resilient tray (102) over the resilient sidewalls (108). The flexible circuit (132) includes a first set of one or more contacts (138) disposed on the exterior of the resilient tray (102) to deliver power to an associated device (150) and a second set of one or more contacts (136) electrically coupled with the first set of contacts (138). The second set of contacts (136) is disposed on an interior of the resilient sidewalls (108) in the battery receiving area (104).
