Abstract

The invention provides an exemplary computer component which comprises a battery pack and a container tray for receiving the battery pack. The battery pack in turn comprises a base and a cover which are slidable relative to each other to accommodate for the thickness of the battery pack when received within the container tray. Further, the container tray includes an aperture to provide access to the battery pack. A module is also provided and includes an interfacing device to allow the battery pack to be coupled to the module when the container tray is inserted into the module.
