[0002] Battery packs are commonly used to power power tools. They are often detachably connected to the tools, offering convenience and a safe, reliable structure. Existing patent CN104103783B discloses a battery pack for power tools. This conventional battery pack uses standard battery pack connectors, with the connectors at the positive and negative terminals simply widened on one side for assembly. However, with the development of lithium-ion tools, the increased capacity of lithium batteries, and the increased power of machines, these ordinary connectors no longer meet market demands. Under continuous high current, the ordinary positive and negative terminal connectors exhibit insufficient overcurrent and heat dissipation capabilities, leading to overheating of the battery pack and frequent thermal shutdowns. In some cases, overheating can even cause the connectors to burn out or the battery pack fuse to blow. Insufficient heat dissipation and prolonged high-temperature operation negatively impact battery pack performance; furthermore, it can damage the battery cells, reducing battery lifespan. Therefore, a battery pack assembly for electric drills needs to be designed to overcome these difficulties. Summary of the Invention
