<p>This invention is a battery charger (100) having a pocket (103) for charging a battery (118). The pocket is covered by a door (104), which has a battery retention latch (105). When the door (104) is open, and a battery is inserted into the pocket (105), the battery retention latch (105) of the door (104) exerts force upon the battery in a direction towards the charging contacts (113) located in the base of the pocket. In so doing the door (104) and battery retention latch (105) hold the battery against the charging contacts (113), thereby enduring a good electrical connection. The battery retention latch (105) also has a convex détente which keeps the door (104) closed when no battery is present. Additionally, the charger may have a pocket for charging a phone and battery combination as well.</p> |
