Abstract
An exemplary battery assembly for an electronic cigarette includes a housing, a battery received in the housing, and a first switch assembly connected to the battery. The first switch assembly includes a fixed electrode, and a rotatable electrode. The fixed electrode is connected to the battery. The fixed electrode has a conductive area and an insulated area. The rotatable electrode is rotatable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the rotatable electrode is in contact with the conductive area, thus connecting to the fixed electrode, and the first switch assembly is turned on. In the second position, the rotatable electrode is positioned in the insulated area, thus disconnecting from the fixed electrode, and the first switch assembly is turned off.
