Abstract
A system for rapid securement and disengagement of a battery assembly-type power source element is provided herein. The system can include a battery assembly that includes a battery element having opposite, opposing surfaces and configured to provide power to at least a portion of a vehicle. On the surface of the battery assembly a pin element can be disposed. The system also includes a receiver assembly configured to mechanically couple the battery assembly. The receiver assembly can include an insertion opening having a size configured to receive the battery assembly and a hook assembly. The hook assembly can include a hook configured to mechanically couple to the pin element of the battery assembly and shaft configured to drive the hook such that a distance between the insertion opening and the battery assembly is changed.
