Patent ID: 8016610

Claim:
A mobile terminal, comprising: a battery for providing power to the mobile terminal, the battery comprising: a face positioned between a first end surface and a second end surface of the battery; and at least one contact pad, each of the at least one contact pad having a first pad portion positioned proximate the face of the battery and a second pad portion positioned proximate the first end surface of the battery; a connecting device configured for electrically coupling the battery to a terminal body of the mobile terminal when the battery is mounted in the mobile terminal, the connecting device comprising: at least one electrically conductive flexible terminal, each of the at least one flexible terminal comprising a first contact portion proximate a first end and biased to contact the first pad portion of the at least one contact pad of the battery and a second contact portion proximate a second end and biased to contact the second pad portion of the at least one contact pad of the battery; and an insulation mount configured to support the at least one flexible terminal, wherein either the first end or the second end of each of the at least one flexible terminal is coupled to the insulation mount of the connecting device and the other of either the first end or second end of each of the at least one flexible terminal is free, wherein each of the at least one flexible terminal is configured to increase contact pressure of the first contact portion against the first pad portion of the at least one contact pad of the battery when force is applied to the second contact portion in a direction away from the second pad portion of the at least one contact pad of the battery, and wherein each of the at least one flexible terminal is configured to increase contact pressure of the second contact portion against the second pad portion of the at least one contact pad of the battery when force is applied to the first contact portion in a direction away from the first pad portion of the at least one contact pad of the battery.
