Abstract
A battery module mount for securing a battery module to a housing of a handheld device, including one or more latch elements attached to the housing and movable between a free position and an unlatched position, with a tab portion, and one or more elongate resilient elements biasing each latch element to the free position. Each latch element is positionable in a latched positions. The mount also includes one or more mating means attached to the battery module with an abutment with which the tab portion is engageable when the latch element is in the latched position, to hold the abutment in a retainable position, thereby securing the battery module to the housing. The tab portion is disengaged from the abutment when the latch element is in the unlatched position, to permit removal of the battery module from the housing.
