Rechargeable battery conversion kit
DCFirst Claim
1. The combination of an electrical device having a compartment shaped and dimensioned to hold at least a first battery having a positive pole and a negative pole, said compartment having an opening sized to allow loading and unloading said first battery, positive and negative terminals protruding from lateral sections of said compartment, said terminals being positioned to contact said poles and wired to carry electrical currents form said poles to electrical circuits in said device, and a removable cover shaped and dimensioned to close said opening, a rechargeable power supply assembly which comprises:
- a support member;
a current conducting means secured at a first end to said support and having first and second tips at an opposite end, each tip being shaped and dimensioned for insertion between one of said poles and one of said terminals, each of said tips having a terminal-contact area on a side and a pole-contacting area on an opposite side; and
