ABSTRACT:
Notebook computer having a removable battery having a recess in one side, the side including an overhang over the recess to form an overhang recess. A pivoting latch has two arms, one of which extends into the battery recess and includes a lip extending into the overhang recess. A leaf spring biases the first arm into the battery recess. A second arm of the pivoting latch contacts a release actuator which pivots to counteract the leaf spring to allow the first arm to be removed from the battery recess. A spring at the rear of the computer biases the battery so that the lip is positively retained in the overhang recess so that simply depressing the release actuator does not release the battery. When the battery is pushed back to compress this spring, the lip can clear the overhang and depressing the release actuator results in the first arm clearing the battery recess so that the battery can be removed while the release actuator is depressed.
