FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD HAVING A BATTERY MOUNTED THERETO

A flexible printed circuit board (PCB) may have one or more coin cell batteries mounted thereto such that the flexibility of the flexible PCB is maintained. The flexible PCB has one or more battery contact pads fabricated thereon. Each battery contact pad includes a pattern of metalized vias each extending from a top surface to a bottom surface of the flexible PCB. A coin cell battery may be positioned over or under the battery contact pad. Conductive light curable epoxy is applied to and in each metalized via to contact and adhere to the coin cell battery to form a conductive path from the battery through the battery contact pad to printed conductors on the flexible PCB. Methods of mounting one or more coin cell batteries to a flexible PCB are also provided, as are other aspects.
