Electronic device

An electronic device comprising:

• a detachable battery from a casing;
• a battery loading section in which the battery is loaded, the battery loading section having a receiving surface that receives a battery to be mounted thereon and a peripheral wall that is formed at a peripheral edge of the receiving surface and faces side surfaces of the battery;
• a lock member disposed at a part of the peripheral wall and configured to shift between a lock position at which the loaded battery is locked to the battery loading section and an unlock position at which the lock is released;
• an unlock restricting member configured to shift between a restriction position at which the lock member at the lock position is restricted from being shifted to the unlock position and a non-restriction position at which the restriction is released;
• and
• a restricting member abutting portion provided at the outer surface of the battery and configured to abut against the unlock restricting member to shift the unlock restricting member to the non-restriction position when the battery being loaded into the battery loading section, in a case where the unlock restricting member is located at the restriction position even though no battery is loaded in the battery loading section.
