Abstract
A battery packaging system (10) packages a battery cell or cells (26) in a housing member (12). A clip (14) is used to retain the battery cells in the housing member, and has cantilevered clip fingers (32) which engage openings (22) formed on the rim (20) of the housing member. The clip compressionally or resiliently engages the battery cells, so that they are tightly held in the housing, by retaining fingers (40) formed in the retaining surface (28) of the clip. A cap (16) may be attached to the clip, and provides a peripheral skirt (54) which covers the openings so that the clip is not removable.
