The transmission base is for receiving a side portion of a first unit of the electronic apparatus. The first unit includes a first battery. The transmission base includes a first wall portion and a second wall portion. The first wall portion and the second wall portion support the side portion. The first wall portion includes a matching structure, which is matched and assembled with a fitting structure of the first battery. When the matching structure of the first wall portion is matched and assembled with the fitting structure, the first unit is electrically connected to the transmission base; when the second wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the first unit is non-electrically connected to the transmission base. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A transmission base, operable to bi-directionally receive a first side portion of a first unit, the first unit being detachably configured with a first battery, the transmission base comprising: a first wall portion, comprising a matching structure, the matching structure for matching and assembling with a fitting structure of the first battery, when the first wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the matching structure matches and assembles with the fitting structure; and a second wall portion, opposite the first wall portion, the first wall portion and the second wall portion bi-directionally supporting the side portion, wherein the second wall portion having no matching structure, when the second wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the second wall portion interferes with the fitting structure; wherein, when the matching structure of the first wall portion is matched and assembled with the fitting structure, the first unit is electrically connected to the transmission base; when the second wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the first unit is non-electrically connected to the transmission base. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The transmission base according to claim 1, wherein the matching structure is formed on an edge of the first wall portion. ### Claim 3 An electronic apparatus, comprising: a first unit, configured with a display portion, detachably configured with a first battery; a second unit, configured with an input portion; and a transmission base, pivotally connected to the second unit, bi-directionally receiving a side portion of the first unit, the transmission base comprising a first wall portion and a second wall portion that bi-directionally support the side portion, the first wall portion being opposite the second wall portion, the first wall portion provided with a matching structure, the matching structure matching with a fitting structure of the first battery, when the first wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the matching structure matches and assembles with the fitting structure, wherein the second wall portion having no matching structure, when the second wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the second wall portion interferes with the fitting structure; wherein, when the matching structure of the first wall portion is matched and assembled with the fitting structure, the first unit is electrically connected to the transmission base; when the second wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the first unit is non-electrically connected to the transmission base. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The electronic apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the matching structure is formed on an edge of the first wall portion. ### Claim 5 An electronic apparatus, comprising: a first unit, comprising a back side, a side portion and a first battery, a battery accommodating slot formed on the back side, a fitting structure formed on an end edge of the first battery, the first battery accommodated in the battery accommodating slot; and a transmission base, comprising a recessed portion, a first wall portion and a second wall portion opposite the first wall portion, the recessed portion located between the first wall portion and the second wall portion, a matching structure formed on an edge of the first wall portion, wherein the second wall portion having no matching structure; wherein, when the side portion of the first unit is placed in the recessed portion and the back side is adjacent to the first wall portion and the first wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the fitting structure is matched and assembled with the matching structure and the first unit is electrically connected to the transmission base; when the side portion of the first unit is placed in the recessed portion and the back side is adjacent to the second wall portion and the second wall portion is in contact with the fitting structure, the second wall portion interferes with the fitting structure, and the first unit is non-electrically connected to the transmission base. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the fitting structure is a protrusion, the matching structure is an indentation, and the protrusion is matched and assembled in the indentation. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein when the first unit is placed in the indentation and the back side is adjacent to the second wall portion, the fitting structure is overlappingly placed on the second wall portion. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein when the first battery is accommodated in the battery accommodating slot, the end edge of the first battery extends out from the battery accommodating slot and is located on the back side; the first unit further comprises a second battery; when the first battery is removed and the second battery is accommodated in the battery accommodating slot, a surface of the second battery and the back side jointly form a leveled plane. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising a second unit, wherein the transmission base is pivotally provided at the second unit. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The electronic apparatus according to claim 9, wherein when the fitting structure is matched and assembled with the matching structure, the transmission base is capable of rotating relative to the first unit to cause the second unit to be adhered to the first unit; the first battery further comprises a buffer member; when the fitting structure is overlappingly placed on the second wall portion and the buffer member is in contact with the second unit, the transmission base and the first unit are tilted by an angle relative to the second unit.
