+### Required 
+| Item | Count |
+|------|-------|
+| BAT Pack PCB| 1 |
+| BLE Controller | 1 |
+| power Switch | 1 |
+| Battery | 1|
+
+The Bat Pack is really quite simple and is just a small pcb that gets soldered to the back of your BLE controller in-place of the battery.
+and adds a power switch that sits right on top of the USB Port.
+
+## Assembling the Bat Pack
+The Soldering on the Bat pack is quite simple. All you need to do to put it together is solder the SMD slide switch onto the PCB.

+
+## Done 
+
+From there you can treat your controller as normal but the battery is taken care of.
+This is not always needed and its better to use the switch placement on your pcb if it supports that.
+If not this is a wonderful option to have.
