Abstract
A battery retention system is configured to facilitate insertion and removal of batteries from an electronic device. The electronic device includes a housing that defines a battery cavity for receiving a battery. The battery cavity has a floor. A floor contact extends from the floor. The floor contact is configured to provide a biasing force to push the battery away from the floor of the battery cavity. The housing has tabs extending into the battery cavity to hold the battery in the battery cavity against the biasing force of the floor contact. The battery cavity has a recess that allows the battery to move in a lateral direction along the floor to a position where the battery disengages from at least one of the tabs to allow at least a portion of the battery to be pushed out of the battery cavity by the biasing force of the floor contact.
