Cordless citrus juicer

A citrus juicer, comprising:

• a base unit including a housing enclosing a drive motor, the housing defining a battery-receiving cavity along a portion thereof with a plurality of terminals exposed therein;
• a reservoir assembly mountable on the base unit and enclosing a liquid receiving cavity;
• a juicing implement rotatably mounted at least partially within the reservoir assembly and configured to be driven by the drive motor when the reservoir assembly is mounted on the base;
• and
• a battery releasably mountable in the battery-receiving cavity by movement of the battery into the battery-receiving cavity in a radial direction with respect to the base unit, wherein mounting of the battery within the battery-receiving cavity connects the battery with the plurality of electrical terminals for powering the drive motor.
