Flexible arm for battery retention in an information handling system

A method of assembling an information handling system comprising a battery module and a battery module retention apparatus comprising releasably securing the battery module using the battery module retention apparatus by:

• moving a first arm of the battery module retention apparatus away from a cavity opposite the first arm into an open position using a living hinge connecting the first arm to a surface of the battery module retention apparatus;
• inserting the battery module into the cavity;
• and
• allowing the first arm to return to a closed position using the living hinge to secure the battery module against a surface of the information handling system.

An information handling system, comprising:

• a mainboard;
• a surface coupled to the mainboard;
• a battery module secured between the mainboard and surface;
• and
• a battery module retention apparatus for securement of the battery between the mainboard and the surface, comprising:
• a surface having at least one wall that defines a cavity configured to receive a battery module such that the wall overlies at least a portion of the battery module when the battery module is received in the cavity;
• and
• a first arm opposite the cavity configured to releasably secure the battery module in the cavity, the first arm being movable between an open position in which a distance between the first arm and the cavity is larger than a distance between the first arm and the cavity when the first arm is in a closed position in which the battery module is secured in the cavity, wherein the first arm is connected to the surface via a living hinge.
