    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved metal can battery cell in which a short circuit state brought about by the deformation of the metal can is prevented. SOLUTION: This cell is preferably provided with a cross section similar to the shape of a letter "T", and includes a spacer 606 arranged between an electrode assembly in an electrochemical battery cell and the metal can. By means of the spacer, a void 610 is made between a corner part of the metal can and the electrode assembly. By this "crumple zone" (impact absorbing strip), a damage of an internal electrode assembly caused by the outside damage of the can is prevented. In this way, the acceptance of a normal OEM drop test becomes easier without losing the cell performance. Furthermore, by making the cell resistant to the external impact, the reliability of the cell is improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

    Abstract: A removable battery package (10) having a latch mechanism (32) for attaching the battery package (10) to a radio (18) is provided. The battery package (10) comprises a housing (15) having an interior surface (30), an exterior surface (14) and sidewalls (16). Engagement means (32) are located on the interior surface (30) of the housing (15) for engaging a receiving means (22) located on the radio (18). Activating means are provided for activating the latch wherein the activating means comprises a recessed portion (12) located in the exterior surface (14) of the housing (15) transverse to the engagement means(32). The recessed portion (12) is designed so that by pressing the sidewalls (16) of the housing (15) a portion of the housing (24) is temporarily outwardly deformed thereby disengaging the engagement means (32).
