Abstract

An exemplary battery connecting structure includes a housing and a contact spring. The housing includes a base, a sidewall extending around a periphery of the base, and at least one fixing portion defined at an inner surface of the sidewall away from the base. The contact spring includes a plurality of loops. A loop of an end of the contact spring is fixed between the base and the fixing portion, such that the end of the contact spring is electrically fixed to the base of the housing. In the present battery connecting structure, the contact spring is not easily detached from the housing. A battery-powered device using the battery connecting structure is also provided.
