An information processing unit and batteries which can be carried with ease even if the batteries have been attached. Includes a main body division for executing given information processing; a first battery division which is attached to the first surface on the rear side of the main body division and is standing out from a second surface adjoining the first surface of the main body division; and a second battery division which is held onto an edge portion on the side of the first battery division which the edge portion stands out from the second surface, such that it can rotate freely in a direction to approach the main body division and also in the reverse direction to depart from the main body division, and one surface of the second battery hits the second surface when rotated in the direction to approach the main body division. Therefore, at the time of carrying the main body division, the first and the second battery divisions can be caused to lie along the first and second surfaces of the main body division so that the first and the second battery divisions can be integrated with the main body division.
