Abstract
A battery (10) includes at least one cell (71) which is contained in a housing (16). Mating mechanisms, located on the housing, selectively attaches the battery to the radio. The mating mechanisms include a protrusion (36) selectively receivable (64) by the radio. At least one electrical contact (18) is located on the protrusion (36).
Claims5
A battery for attachment to and powering of a radio, the battery comprising:
- at least one cell;
- a housing containing said at least one cell;
- mating means, located on the housing, for selectively attaching the battery and the radio, the mating means including a pair of protrusions selectively receivable by the radio;
- and
- charging contacts located on at least one of the protrusions.
2 more elements
A radio having an integrated mechanical and electrical mating system, comprising:
- a battery having at least one cell having a terminal;
- a housing for housing the battery;
- conductive protrusion means formed on the housing for electrically coupling the battery to a charger;
- and
- protrusion receiving means on the radio for receiving the conductive protrusion means, for mechanically coupling the battery to the radio, and for electrically coupling the battery to the charger.
