Abstract
A bottle assembly for a battery powered dispenser includes a container for storing a dispensable fluid, a pump fixed to the container for releasing metered amounts of fluid from the container in response to a battery operated actuator disposed in the dispenser. A battery carrier, fixed to the container, provides power to the actuator. A base is provided for supporting the container and the battery carrier and enabling collapse of the container without interference with the battery carrier. A size and number of batteries are calibrated to provide an adequate power supply for the dispenser to dispense all of the fluids stored in the container.
