A battery clip for retaining a battery to a circuit carrier is disclosed along with an assembly including a circuit carrier having a plurality of flexible tabs. The battery clip includes a plurality of slots configured to mate with and receive the flexible tabs of the circuit carrier such that the battery clip and the circuit carrier are secured together such that a first terminal of a retained battery physically contacts and is in electrical communication with the circuit carrier's first pad, the battery clip further comprising one or more flexible conductive fingers configured to contact a second terminal of a retained battery to establish an electrical communication between the fingers and the second terminal, and wherein the battery clip includes an electrically conductive material and establishes electrical communication between the fingers and the circuit carrier's second pad.
A battery clip for retaining at least one battery to at least a first battery contact pad of a circuit carrier, wherein the battery clip comprises at least one housing comprising an electrically conductive material, wherein the housing comprises opposing side walls connected to a bottom wall and at least one flexible conductive finger forming a top wall, the housing comprising at least one receptacle for at least partially receiving the circuit carrier and the battery, wherein the receptacle comprises at least one opening through which the battery and the circuit carrier are at least partially insertable, the at least one flexible conductive finger and the bottom wall being configured for retaining the battery to the first battery contact pad of the circuit carrier, wherein the at least one flexible conductive finger is configured for contacting the battery being arranged on a first side of the circuit carrier being inserted into the receptacle, wherein the bottom wall is configured for contacting a second side of the circuit carrier being inserted into the receptacle, the second side opposing the first side, and wherein the battery clip is configured to press on the battery to cause a first terminal of the battery to physically contact and be in electrical communication with the first battery contact pad.
