Abstract
The present invention provides a battery unit that is detachably attached to such an electronic apparatus as a notebook computer and maximizes the space efficiency with an expansion unit in the electronic apparatus. The battery unit includes a battery-unit extending portion that perpendicularly overlaps a relatively thinner portion of the expansion unit that is also detachably attached to the electronic apparatus and realizes a predetermined function when the expansion unit is connected to the electronic apparatus. The overlapped thinner portion and the battery-unit extending portion maximize efficiently the space in the electronic apparatus.
Claims11
A battery unit attachable to an electronic apparatus that is detachably mounted with an expansion unit that functionally extends the electronic apparatus when connected to the electronic apparatus, said battery unit comprising:
- a battery;
- and
- a housing that accommodates said battery, and partially overlaps the expansion unit in a thickness direction of said housing without adding any length to the housing.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a main housing;
- an expansion unit that is detachably attached to said main housing, and functionally extends said electronic apparatus a predetermined function when said expansion unit is attached to said main housing;
- and
- a battery unit attachable to said main housing, said battery unit serving as a power supply and partially overlapping said expansion unit in a thickness direction of said battery unit without adding any length to the housing.
