Abstract
A battery mounting contact consists of a substrate having a battery cavity for housing a battery therein. A first contact is attached to a first surface of the substrate and extends over the battery cavity substantially planarly adjacent to the substrate first surface. A second contact extends over the battery cavity substantially planarly adjacent to a second surface of the substrate. The battery, disposed within the battery cavity, makes electrical contact by its anode with the first contact and by its cathode with the second contact, or vis versa. The battery mounting contact significantly reduces the thickness of a battery powered device.
