Abstract
An accommodation for holding and connecting batteries, especially lithium batteries of the type ordinarily employed for photographic purposes, but in conditions where moisture constitutes a hazard, such as in electronically controlled plumbing fixtures. The accommodation is provided with a pocket-like envelope of elastomeric material with an inner surface that matches the outer surface of the battery to be accommodated therein and with an opening at one end to insert the battery therethrough and closed at the other end. The accommodation has a plate with resilient contacts on its inward-facing side inside the envelope at the closed end and the envelope is surrounded by an inward-extending collar in the vicinity of the open end that engages the battery from behind and secures it, forcing it against the contacts. A connecting cable extends moisture-tight out of the closed end.
