Abstract
A battery is held in and connected to a radio receiver by an arrangement having a hollow cylinder that fits in the receiver, and that holds the battery. The cylinder is held in the receiver by first metallic clips. An associated first spring forms the negative connector to the receiver circuit. A closure cover having a metallic portion fits on one end of the cylinder. When a battery is positioned in the cylinder, the cover connects the negative terminal of the battery through the cylinder to the first metallic clips. A metallic contact is held by second metallic clips in the vicinity of the other end of the cylinder. When a battery is positioned in the cylinder, its positive terminal engages the metallic contact and is connected to the receiver circuit through an associated second spring.
