Abstract
A battery holder frame () that facilitates the removal of a fully installed battery () (electrical cell). The frame has top (), bottom (), opposite side (), and back walls () that form a cavity () that receives a battery by moving the battery rearward into the cavity until the battery abuts the back wall. The back wall upper portion has a bottom edge () and leaves an opening () below the bottom edge through which the bottom of the battery can move rearward out of the cavity. To remove a fully installed battery, the battery bottom is pushed rearward to cause the battery to pivot so its upper portion () moves forward out of the cavity and can be grasped to pull the battery out of the cavity.
