Abstract
Described in this disclosure are battery contacts for use in electronic devices usable without soldering to a circuit board. The battery contact includes one or more contact features supported by leaf springs. The contact features touch a corresponding pad on the circuit board at time of assembly, providing an electrically conductive pathway. One or more of the battery contacts may include a spring-biased member configured to apply pressure to one or more batteries.
