There's a metal band that is tack welded, connecting the 2 batteries into a
6V unit. Within the metal strap is a thermal fuse which will blow out if a
circuit fault causes the batteries to short out and get hot.

| What do you mean by thermal fuse?
|
| Are you describing the manner by which the cells are welded together the
way
| nicad packs are assembled? Or a fuse that protects against electrical
| shorting of the individual cells?
