Battery pack
First Claim
1. A battery pack to be loaded in a battery storage of an electronic device, the battery storage having been so designed as to accommodate a plurality of size AA batteries in a mutually parallel relationship, the battery pack comprising:
- a battery casing profiled to be detachably mounted to the battery storage of the electronic device;
a plurality of size AAA batteries incorporated in the battery casing, the size AAA batteries being diametrically narrower than the size AA battery;
a battery holder holding the plurality of size AA batteries in place in a mutually parallel relationship;
a circuit board stacked with the battery holder and connected to the size AAA batteries as well as receiving a supply of electric power from an external battery charger cradle; and
an electronic component mounted on the circuit board, wherein the plurality of size AAA batteries are accommodated in the battery casing in a spaced-apart manner where a distance (d) between longitudinal axes of the size AAA batteries is larger than a distance (D) between longitudinal axes of the size AA batteries when loaded in the battery storage of the electronic device;
a storage space is defined between the adjacent size AAA batteries to allow for disposition of the electronic component mounted on a circuit board; and
the plurality of size AAA batteries, the battery holder, and the circuit board are accommodated in a mutually layered state in the battery casing while the electronic component mounted on the circuit board is disposed in the storage space.

Abstract
The battery pack instead of the size AA battery is loaded in a battery storage of an electronic device. The battery pack includes a battery casing, a plurality of size AAA batteries, a battery holder, a circuit board, and an induction coil electromagnetically connected to a primary coil of a battery charger cradle. The size AAA batteries are accommodated in the battery casing in a spaced-apart manner where a distance between longitudinal axes of the size AAA batteries is larger than a distance between longitudinal axes of the size AA batteries loaded in the battery storage, and a storage space is defined between the adjacent size AAA batteries. With an electronic component, mounted on the circuit board, being disposed in the storage space, the battery pack accommodates the size AAA batteries, the battery holder, the circuit board, and the induction coil in a mutually layered state in the battery casing.
