Abstract
A battery holder for a control device is integral with the base of the control device and has a first support member with battery connections and a second support member which is made up of a L-shaped lever comprising a portion of the base. The second support member is flexible whereby the battery can be placed between the first and second support members and a force moving the battery toward the connection means by the second support member will connect the battery to the connection. The battery can be removed from the battery holder by lifting the second support member. Adjacent support members which are hooked to hold the battery in place are flexible to move away from the battery when the battery is lifted to be in a position so that the battery can then be manually pulled out of the battery holder and disconnected from the battery connection means.
