Abstract
A high reliability battery contact assembly () for use in an electronic device includes a battery contact block () comprised of a plurality of cantilevered contacts (). A redundant ground contact () is connected to the metallic housing of the electronic device () and positioned adjacent to the battery contact block (). The cantilevered contacts include a primary power contact (), a sensing contact () and a ground contact (). The battery contact assembly () is advantageous in that it requires a very limited amount of surface area while still working to prevent a reset condition of an electronic device that might occur due to a loss in electrical continuity during adverse conditions.
