1. A battery holder (100) comprising:
a negative terminal (102), wherein the negative terminal (102)
5 comprises:
a top surface (202); and
a plurality of non-abutting and adjacent contact leads (204)
extending linearly from the top surface (202), wherein each of the
contact leads (204) are to contact an anode surface of a battery (208)
10 at a point which is offset from the center of the anode surface and
form a gap between the anode surface and the top surface (202).
2. The battery holder (100) as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a positive
terminal (104) in a longitudinally opposite direction from the negative terminal
15 (102), such that the positive terminal (104) and the negative terminal (102) is to
form a longitudinal gap to secure the battery (208), wherein the positive terminal
(104) comprises:
a protrusion (206), wherein the protrusion (206) is to contact a cathode
surface of the battery (208).
20
3. The battery holder (100) as claimed in claim 2, wherein the protrusion (206)
of the positive terminal (104) is adapted to ensure maximum contact with the
cathode surface of the battery (208).
25 4. The battery holder (100) as claimed in claim 2, wherein the protrusion (206),
upon contacting the cathode surface of the battery (208), is to provide an electrical
connection from the positive terminal (104) to the cathode of the battery (208).
5. The battery holder (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the plurality
30 of contact leads (204) are positioned about the top surface (202) at a point which is
11
equidistant from the axis of the top surface (202), such that each of the contact leads
(204) are to circumferentially contact the anode surface.
6. The battery holder (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the contact leads
5 (204), upon contacting the anode surface of the battery (208), are to provide an
electrical connection from the negative terminal (102) to the anode of the battery
(208).
7. The battery holder (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the top surface (202)
10 is to further accommodate a longitudinally extending electrolyte guide (210) having
a first end (210-1) and a second end (210-2), and wherein the first end (210-1) of
the electrolyte guide (210) is mounted to the center of the anode surface of the
battery (208), such that, upon securing the battery (208) in the battery holder (100),
the second end (210-2) of the electrolyte guide (210) is to perpendicularly abut the
15 top surface (202).
8. The battery holder (100) as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of the negative
terminal (102) and the positive terminal (104) is longitudinally adjustable such that
the adjustment is to vary the height of the longitudinal gap to secure the battery
20 (208) with a variable height.
9. The battery holder (100) as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a
plurality of side fasteners (402), wherein, upon securing the battery (208) in the
battery holder (100), at least one of the plurality of side fasteners (402) is to fasten
25 and come in contact with the circumferential surface of the battery (208), such that
upon fastening, the side fasteners (402) are to cause the battery holder (100) to
secure various types of cylindrical batteries having different diameters.
10. The battery holder (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the battery holder
30 (100) is made of a polymeric material.
