A battery box of high reliability in which a leaf spring terminal does not readily suffer from settling even if external forces such as vibrations or impacts are applied. The battery box comprises a leaf spring terminal (6) secured to an inner wall of a battery accommodating case (4) for contacting with an electrode of a battery received in the cavity of the battery accommodating case. The leaf spring terminal has a resilient supporting portion (7) having a substantially U-shape and is secured at the opposite end portions thereof to the inner wall of the battery accommodating case. The leaf spring terminal further has a resilient tongue (8) which is folded over itself and a base portion (8c) which extends from the bottom of the U-shape of the resilient supporting portion in the same plane as and in parallel to the opposite sides of the U-shape of the resilient supporting portion with a pair of slits (9) left therebetween. The inner wall of the battery accommodating case has a recess (4a) formed at a portion opposite to the base portion of the resilient tongue of the leaf spring terminal to allow the base portion of the resilient tongue to be deflected therein. <IMAGE> |
