Abstract
A battery housing base (300) with an integral, sliding channel mechanism (507) for attaching a battery to portable electronic equipment (102) is disclosed. The slide-on battery (105) is captivated by limited travel guide rails (307 through 312) within the sliding channels (507) along each opposite edge of the mating surface (302) of the battery housing base (300). Indentations (313 through 316) are disposed between neighboring limited travel guide rails (307 through 312). The indentations (313 through 316) enable the limited travel guide rails (307 through 312) to be manufactured using a single shot injection, straight pull ejection molding process and to be easily attached to the portable electronic equipment (102). The single shot injection mold process controls all critical interface dimensions on the battery housing base (300) for proper attachment to the portable electronic equipment (102). The critical interface dimensions are disassociated from the attachment of a battery housing base (300) to the battery housing cover ( 202).
