An improved interface for releasably connecting a power control module or battery pack (14) to an electrical appliance or tool (10). The power control module (14) includes a power control trigger (28) and provides electrical power to a motor of the appliance. The power control switch is located on the appliance, and is actuated by a portion of the trigger (28) extending through the interface. The interface includes a pair of dovetail connections with interlocking flanges, requiring a two-motion procedure for assembly and disassembly. A latch release assembly interacts with the trigger to avoid powering the motor during assembly, and to prevent disassembly with the trigger pulled. <IMAGE> |
