Abstract
A battery cover assembly includes a battery cover (3) defining a pair of guide rails (326) in an inner surface of the battery cover, a connecting member (2), a housing (1) defining a receiving slot (164) and a battery-receiving compartment (194), a plurality of springs (5, 7), a plurality of sleeves (6), a number of locking pins (7), and an antenna rod (4). The connecting member is loosely received in the guide rails along a lateral direction. Each sleeve includes a first through hole and a second through hole. The connecting member is engaged with each sleeve by using each locking pin inserting into a folded arm of the connecting member and the first through hole, and the antenna rod inserts through the through hole of the sleeve and the receiving slot, such that the battery cover is pivotably connected with the housing.
