1. A battery assembly comprising: a battery housing comprising an inner surface defining an opening, the battery housing including an outer surface and a plurality of bosses extending from the outer surface, the bosses being spaced apart from one another and the opening;a feedthrough member being disposed through the opening and extending from the battery housing; anda connector including at least one electrical terminal electrically contacting the feedthrough member, the connector including a plurality of spaced apart recesses, the recesses each being configured for disposal of one of the bosses to physically assemble the battery housing and the connector in a manner that prevents rotation of the connector relative to the battery housing. 2. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the recesses are each configured for disposal of one of the bosses to align components of the battery assembly. 3. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the recesses are each configured for disposal of one of the bosses to align the connector with the feedthrough member. 4. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the recesses are each configured for disposal of one of the bosses to prevent axial translation of the connector relative to the battery housing. 5. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the recesses are each configured for disposal of one of the bosses to prevent translation of the connector relative to the battery housing in a plurality of axial directions. 6. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the bosses is wedge shaped. 7. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein one or more of the bosses have different geometric configurations. 8. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the connector includes a grounding tab configured to permit electrical connection to the battery housing. 9. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the recesses is tapered. 10. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the bosses are each self-aligning with one of the recesses. 11. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the bosses are circumferentially disposed about the opening. 12. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the battery assembly comprises micro-electronic components. 13. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the bosses each have the same geometric configuration. 14. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the opening is centered in the battery housing. 15. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein surfaces of the connector that define the recesses engage the bosses in a mating configuration. 16. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the recesses are molded into the connector. 17. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the recesses each taper inward with increasing penetration into the connector. 18. A battery assembly according to claim 1, wherein the feedthrough pin is configured to be positioned within an aperture of the connector when the bosses are disposed in the recesses. 19. A battery assembly for use with a implantable medical device, the battery assembly comprising: a battery housing comprising an anode and a cathode, the cathode being connected to a feedthrough pin that is configured to be connected to the implantable medical device, the battery housing comprising a battery cover having a top surface that defines an aperture, the feedthrough pin extending through the aperture, the battery cover including plurality of bosses extending from the top surface, the bosses being spaced apart from one another and the aperture; anda connector that engages the feedthrough pin, the connector including a plurality of spaced apart recesses, the recesses each being configured for disposal of one of the bosses to physically assemble the battery housing and the connector in a manner that prevents rotation of the connector relative to the battery housing. 20. A battery assembly comprising: an implantable medical device;a battery housing comprising an anode and a cathode, the cathode being connected to a feedthrough pin that is configured to be connected to the implantable medical device, the battery housing comprising a battery cover having a top surface that defines an aperture, the feedthrough pin extending through the aperture, the battery cover including plurality of bosses extending from the top surface, the bosses being spaced apart from one another and the aperture; anda connector that engages the feedthrough pin, the connector including a plurality of spaced apart recesses, the recesses each being configured for disposal of one of the bosses to physically assemble the battery housing and the connector in a manner that prevents rotation of the connector relative to the battery housing.
