Abstract
This invention includes a compliant removable battery support for configuring a pocket to accommodate devices of varying size. In one preferred embodiment, a charger is provided having a pocket capable of receiving an electronic apparatus, like a cellular phone for instance. The electronic apparatus is capable of having different sized batteries attached. The pocket size is adjusted by inserting the compliant removable battery support into a guide slot that corresponds to the desired battery size. In a preferred embodiment, the compliant removable battery support has a compliant member that comprises a four bar compliance mechanism. The four bar compliant mechanism provides more robust coupling between the compliant removable battery support and the charger in that the deflection stress is distributed across the compliant mechanism.
