Abstract
A dummy battery device for testing an electronic device having a battery cavity, which includes a connector, comprises: a main structure shaped and dimensioned so as to fit in the battery cavity of the electronic device; and a head structure configured to be detachably and moveably connected to the main structure, the head structure having contacts for electrically connecting the connector of the battery cavity once the main structure is received in the battery cavity of the of the electronic device, and cables extending therefrom, the cables being electrically connected to the contacts of the head structure.
Claims16
A dummy battery device for testing an electronic device having a battery cavity, the battery cavity comprising a connector therein, the dummy battery device comprising:
- a main structure shaped and dimensioned so as to fit in the battery cavity of the electronic device,
- wherein the main structure further comprises a main portion and an adjustable portion, the adjustable portion extending from one sidewall of the main portion, and
- wherein the adjustable portion comprises a bracket and springs attached thereto;
- and
- a head structure configured to be detachably and moveably connected to the main structure, the head structure having contacts for electrically contacting the connector of the battery cavity once the main structure is received in the battery cavity of the electronic device, and cables extending therefrom, the cables being electrically connected to the contacts of the head structure.
A method for testing an electronic device having a removable battery cavity which includes a connector therein, the method comprising:
- connecting a dummy battery device to the connector in the cavity, the dummy battery device comprising:
- a main structure shaped and dimensioned so as to fit in the battery cavity of the electronic device,
- wherein the main structure further comprises a main portion and an adjustable portion, the adjustable portion extending from one sidewall of the main portion, and
- wherein the adjustable portion comprises a bracket and springs attached thereto;
- and
- a head structure configured to be detachably and moveably connected to the main structure, the head structure having contacts for electrically connecting the connector of the battery cavity once the main structure is received in the battery cavity of the portable electronic device, and cables extending therefrom, the cables being electrically connected to the contacts of the head structure;
- and connecting the cables extending from the head structure to at least one of a measurement device and power supply.
