A portable data terminal comprising:
- an elongated housing;
- a data collection device supported by the housing;
- a handle extending from the elongated housing, the handle having a trigger to activate the data collection device;
- a battery well formed in the elongated housing to the tear of an intersection between the handle and the elongated housing, the battery well extending traverse to a longitudinal axis of the housing;
- and
- a battery pack having a longitudinal axis that, when seated in the battery well extends traverse to a longitudinal axis of the housing.
