ABSTRACT:
A battery box of high reliability wherein a leaf spring terminal does not readily suffer from settling even if external forces such as vibrations or impacts are applied. The battery box comprises a leaf spring terminal secured to an inner wall of a battery accommodating case for contacting with an electrode of a battery received in the cavity of the battery accommodating case. The leaf spring terminal has a resilient supporting portion having a substantially U-shape and is secured at the opposite end portions thereof to the inner wall of the battery accommodating case. The leaf spring terminal further has a resilient tongue which is folded over itself and a base portion which extends from the bottom of the U-shape of the resilient supporting portion in the same plane as and in parallel to the opposite sides of the U-shape of the resilient supporting portion with a pair of slits left therebetween. The inner wall of the battery accommodating case has a recess formed at a portion opposite to the base portion of the resilient tongue of the leaf spring terminal to allow the base portion of the resilient tongue to be deflected therein.
