Electronic device

Abstract

An electronic device includes a battery lid (9) which is openably/closeably formed at an opening of a battery housing chamber where a battery (6) is to be loaded removably and which has an engaging portion, at its position where the battery lid closes the opening, for keeping the opening closed, and an electrode plate (8) formed of a conductive member held by the battery lid (9) so as to be in contact with an electrode of the battery (6) when the battery lid (9) is in the closed state, wherein the electrode plate (8) has a contact portion (8a) extending integrally from its base which is held by the battery lid (9) so as to come into contact with the electrode of the battery (9), and is made of an elastic body that resists a pressing force applied by the electrode of the battery (6) when the battery lid (9) is closed with the battery (6) being housed in the battery housing chamber.
