Battery pack

A battery pack comprising:

• a battery terminal configured to engage an apparatus terminal having a flat plate-like shape so as to be electrically connected with the apparatus terminal, the battery terminal comprising a pair of elastic clamping pieces configured to receive the apparatus terminal when the battery pack is attached to an apparatus that includes the apparatus terminal and to clamp the apparatus terminal from both sides of the apparatus terminal,
• wherein:
• the battery pack is configured to be detachably attached to the apparatus by sliding the battery pack in a sliding direction along the apparatus terminal,
• the pair of the elastic clamping pieces extends in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction,
• an insertion guide is provided at each end of the pair of the elastic clamping pieces, the ends being provided on a side for receiving the apparatus terminal along the sliding direction, and
• each of the insertion guides is an insertion guide recess formed by notching the corresponding end of the pair of the elastic clamping pieces.
