STRUCTURALLY MOUNTABLE BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17838779 titled 'STRUCTURALLY MOUNTABLE BATTERY
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed technology is about a battery pack that can be attached to a portable electronic device. The battery pack consists of multiple layers and an enclosure. The enclosure has a surface and walls that extend from the surface in a perpendicular direction. A part of the surface extends beyond at least one wall. The enclosure also has a second surface that connects to the walls to form a body enclosing the layers. The extended part of the surface can be connected to the device, and the battery pack can provide power to at least one component of the device when connected.

Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosed technology relates to a battery pack configured to be structurally mounted to a portable electronic device. The battery pack comprises a plurality of layers and an enclosure. The enclosure comprises a first surface and a plurality of walls that extend from the first surface in a direction perpendicular to the first surface. A portion of the first surface extends past at least one wall of the plurality of walls. The enclosure comprises a second surface configured to be connected to the plurality of walls to form a body configured to enclose the plurality of layers. The portion of the first surface is configured to be coupled to a device and the battery pack is configured to provide at least one component of the device with power when the portion of the first surface is coupled to the device.
