A battery connector for mechanically and electrically connecting an external battery (1) to a piece of equipment (4) has two plates (2,3) which mate face to face. On each are complementary, elongated mechanical engagement portions. One engaged first, forms a hinge; and comprises a hook portion (21) and a recess (31) the other forms a locking device. Electrical connections are made when the two plates are locked together. The electrical contacts may be spring loaded to ensure good contact and to assist separation. <IMAGE> |
