Abstract
A battery latch assembly is configured to secure a battery compartment in a device. The battery latch assembly includes a first arm that is configured to be coupled to the device. The battery latch assembly also includes a second arm coupled to the first arm so as to facilitate movement of the second arm relative to the first arm. The battery latch assembly also includes a first fastening element that is configured to releasably engage with a first cooperating member to form a first latch point that secures the first arm in a position where a portion of the first arm is aligned with and covers the battery compartment. The battery latch assembly also includes a second fastening element that is configured to releasably engage with a second cooperating member to establish a second latch point that secures the second arm to the first arm.
