Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a battery, a housing, and a latching element. The housing defines a battery compartment and at least one receiving hole. The latching element includes a flat plate, an extension plate and at least one connecting block. The extension plate extends from the flat plate and reaches into the battery compartment to elastically latch the battery. The at least one connecting block projects from the flat plate and is received in the receiving hole and resists the housing.
