Abstract
The present invention includes a housing having a casing and a cap. A connecting conductor is joined to the cap, and a plunger conductor assembly is electrically connected to the connecting conductor. A battery may be placed in the casing and electrically connected to an electrically conductive concentric ring. When the cap is attached to the casing, the plunger conductor is electrically connected with the concentric ring so as to provide electricity from the battery to the connecting conductor. A method of delivering electricity using such a housing is also described.
