Browse all of our battery compartment enclosures here, or read more below to learn some key facts that will help you choose the perfect model for your application.
What Is a Battery Compartment on an Enclosure?
Many types of handheld electronic devices use removable batteries such as alkaline batteries, non-rechargeable lithium batteries or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Since it’s easier to specify an enclosure with a built-in feature from the beginning than to have it custom-made later, many manufacturers choose handheld enclosure models with integrated battery boxes for their handheld devices.
A battery compartment typically includes cutouts and standoffs to hold the battery in place and accommodate its contacts. Some models also include the battery contacts themselves and a battery door for the compartment. This helps keep the battery safely connected at all times while protecting it from exposure to corrosive substances and other environmental hazards.
