Abstract
A protective battery holding structure includes a heat-resistant battery holder that defines a receiving space for receiving at least one battery therein and is provided with at least one rib protruded toward the receiving space to point-contact with an outer surface of the battery. The point contact of the battery with the ribs on the heat-resistant battery holder prevents heat produced by the battery during operation from transferring to and thereby damaging an outer case of the battery holder. The ribs also increase the structural strength of the battery holder and stably locate the battery in the battery holder.
