Abstract

An interface for a mobile device battery is disclosed. The interface includes a U-shaped element, including an interior side and an exterior side, wherein a mobile device battery can be coupled to the interior side of the U-shaped element. The interface further includes at least one terminal coupled to the interior side of the U-shaped element, wherein each terminal contacts a battery contact of the mobile device battery when the mobile device battery is coupled to the interior side of the U-shaped element. The interface further includes at least one conductive element, wherein each conductive element is coupled to a terminal and provides a conductive contact on the exterior side of the U-shaped element for contacting a printed circuit board terminal.
