Abstract

An improved battery mounting assembly includes a radio housing (102), a battery tray (104), and a back cover (106). The radio housing (102) includes retaining posts (130) and inserts (132). The battery tray (104) includes integrally molded latches (120) and integrally molded alignment grooves (122). The battery tray (104) retains battery cells (128) and pivotally latches to the radio housing (102) through latches (120) and corresponding inserts (132). The integrally molded alignment grooves (122) align and co-locate with the retaining posts (130) of the radio housing. The back cover (106) slides over the radio housing (102) to complete encapsulation of the cells (128).
