Battery Configuration for Electronic Device

A user device comprising:

• a device housing having a battery receptacle, wherein the battery receptacle has a chamfered corner and a slot;
• a battery comprising:
• (i) a respective chamfered corner corresponding to the chamfered corner of the battery receptacle, (ii) an alignment tab disposed within the slot of the battery receptacle, and (iii) a battery slot;
• a latch;
• and
• a spring interfacing with the latch, wherein as the battery is positioned within the battery receptacle, the battery pushes the latch against the spring until the latch is aligned with the battery slot, wherein the spring biases the latch toward the battery such that the latch is received within the battery slot, thereby retaining the battery within the battery receptacle.

A method comprising:

• orienting a battery relative to a battery receptacle formed in a device housing of a user device, such that a chamfered corner of the battery receptacle is aligned with a respective chamfered corner of the battery;
• inserting an alignment tab of the battery into a slot of the battery receptacle;
• pressing the battery into the battery receptacle, thereby causing the battery to push a latch disposed in the user device against a spring that interfaces with the latch;
• and
• aligning the latch with a battery slot, thereby causing the spring to bias the latch to be received within the battery slot, thereby retaining the battery within the battery receptacle.
