A battery cover latching mechanism ( 300 ) for latching a battery cover ( 20 ) on a housing ( 10 ) of a portable electronic device. The battery cover has a fixing portion ( 204 ) defining a hollow ( 206 ) therein. The latching mechanism includes a button ( 30 ), a locking member ( 40 ) and an elastic member ( 60 ). The button ( 30 ) has an inclined surface ( 308 ). The locking member has a claw ( 408 ) engaged with the hollow and a slanted surface ( 414 ) that resists the inclined surface. The button is mounted in the housing and is movable along a first direction. When the button moves along the first direction, the locking member is driven to slide along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, so as to move the claw from a first position where the claw engages in the hollow to a second position where the claw releases from the hollow.
