A portable phone (10) has an outer casing (14) with opposite upper and lower walls (16, 18), one of the walls having an opening (24) for access to the interior of the casing, and a lid (28) removably mounted in the opening for normally closing the opening. A main circuit board (22) is mounted in the outer casing, with a plurality of phone components (30) mounted on the circuit board. A predetermined region (26) of the board aligned with the opening is left exposed or empty of components, and forms a recess for receiving a battery (12). The battery receiving recess (26) has contact pads (39, 40), and a battery (12) is removably engaged in the recess with battery contacts engaging the contact pads in the recess, whereby the battery can be removed and replaced via the opening after opening the lid.
