A mobile phone has a housing having a battery chamber for selectively accommodating
a rechargeable battery. The mobile phone includes a battery latch and a latch coupling
element. The battery latch is movably connected with the housing for locking or
releasing the rechargeable battery. The latch coupling element is disposed on the
housing adjacent to the battery chamber. The battery latch, corresponding to the
latch coupling element, reciprocally moves along a direction parallel to a longitudinal
axis of the battery chamber. When no force is exerted on the battery latch, the
battery latch is in a first position. When a predetermined force is exerted on
the battery latch, the battery latch moves a predetermined distance to a second
position to release the battery from the housing.
