Abstract
Securing means particularly for slide-in type battery pack to be used in cordless electric power tools. An L-shaped latch is pivoted on the tool, and its short leg cooperates with a release mechanism at the remote end of the battery pack. A release member, spring loaded on the battery pack, urges the latch away from the pack during disengagement. A thermostated subassembly of the cells within the battery pack is also disclosed.
