Abstract

An improved storage battery on a mobile phone is comprised of a base housing, a cover housing, an electric circuit board, a set of lithium batteries and a viewing window, wherein after closing and assembling of the base and the cover housings, a receiving space is formed therein for receiving the electric circuit board and the lithium batteries. When the base housing is secured on the mobile phone, electric energy provided by the lithium batteries will afford operation of the mobile phone, and the lithium batteries can be charged. A user can see directly through the viewing window provided on either the base housing or the cover housing and made with an acrylic plate to inspect the lithium batteries to prevent them from being changed to common batteries.

Claims

1. An improved storage battery housing for a mobile phone, comprises:

a base housing secured in a storage battery mounting station provided in said mobile phone,

a cover housing attached to said base housing to form a receiving space therebetween,

an electric circuit board disposed in said receiving space formed by said base housing and said cover housing,

at least one lithium battery also disposed in said receiving space formed by said base housing and said cover housing, wherein electric energy from said at least one lithium battery is supplied through said electric circuit board for operation of said mobile phone, and said at least one lithium battery is charged through said electric circuit board; and

a viewing window formed within an opening provided on one of said base housing and said cover housing to permit direct viewing of said at least one lithium battery through said viewing window to visually inspect the presence of said at least one lithium battery in said receiving space.

2. The improved storage battery housing of claim 1 wherein the opening and the viewing window are provided in the base housing.

3. The improved storage battery housing of claim 1 wherein the opening and the viewing window are provided is the cover housing.
