Abstract
An exchangeable module or battery 20 is wired to null terminals a, c. A main device 30 is joined to circuit terminals b, d. A connector 10 with a pair of shunt plates 11, 12 is used to electrically connect terminal a to b and terminal c to d, in order to connect the battery to the main device. The connector may be mounted in a cover panel 42, 43. In one embodiment (FIG. 6), the connector 10 is mounted to the exchangeable module for automatic separation from the terminals when the module is moved.
