ABSTRACT:
A battery attachment apparatus (201) for attaching a battery (200) to an electronic device (100) includes a fixed latch arrangement and a contact arrangement. The fixed latch arrangement is carried on the electronic device (100) and the battery (200). The contact arrangement has a flat contact (220) carried on the battery (200) and a spring contact (310) carried on the electronic device (100). Upon mating the flat and spring contacts (220 and 310), the spring contact (310) deflects and urges the battery (200) into engagement with the fixed latch arrangement, thereby, securing attachment of the battery (200) and electrically connecting the battery (200) to the electronic device (100).
