Abstract
A battery presence detector designed to detect the presence of batteries in a device enclosure without the need to open the enclosure is described. The detection process involves the use of an inductive sensor to sample an interaction value triggered by the presence of the battery within the device. The devices to be checked for battery presence may be placed on a conveyor. The detector may be used with a mechanism for separating the devices based on whether or not a battery is present within them. Examples of devices to be tested include remote controls and cell phones.
