Abstract
A battery pack is provided for use in applications where lightweight and flexibility are desired, such as for powering an illuminated clothing article. A battery pack is provided consisting of a first and second fabrics, each having conductive traces applied upon its inside. The fabrics are sealed together forming a battery pouch area to hold and electrically connect a battery that is placed within it. Because the pack is made of fabric, and requires no connecting wires or hard case, excess weight and bulk is eliminated, resulting in a comfortable clothing article within a natural drape.
