BATTERY PACK WHICH CAN BE ATTACHED

The battery pack which can be attached independent of orientation houses rechargeable batteries within its case and has positive and negative (+ -) charge-discharge terminals at one end of the case. The charge-discharge terminals are arranged to connect to electrical apparatus without regard to the orientation of the front or back of the case. The + - charge-discharge terminals are sheet metal bent in flat-sided c-shapes, and comprise a parallel charge-discharge terminal piece which attaches to the case parallel to the case opening plane and a perpendicular charge-discharge terminal piece which attaches to the case perpendicular to the parallel charge-discharge terminal piece. The parallel charge-discharge terminal piece attaches by fitting into an attachment section formed as a single piece in the case opening. The open sides of the c-shaped parallel charge-discharge terminal piece and perpendicular charge-discharge terminal piece face each other in opposite fore and aft directions, and the two terminal pieces attach to the case in an orthogonal fashion.
