Abstract:
A method of anticipating a disengagement moment of a battery package of a battery-operated electronic device, wherein warning information is generated on disengagement of the battery package before electronic connectors interconnecting the battery package and a housing of the device become detached from each other, andin which warning information is generated by moving first identification members of the disengagement moment of the battery package from a first position to a second position with respect to second identification members of the disengagement moment of the battery package, wherein the first identification members of the disengagement moment of the battery package are integral to a spring element of a latch of the battery package, whereby when the latch is moved in order to disengage the battery package from the housing of the device, the first identification members of the disengagement moment of the battery package are moved to the second position to provide the warning information.
