Battery and connection apparatus
First Claim
1. A battery comprising:
- a casing configured to house a battery cell; and
a terminal part including connection terminals configured to connect to electrode terminals of a connection apparatus,wherein the casing includesa top face and a bottom face positioned on opposite sides of the casing in a first direction and first and second side faces positioned between the top face and the bottom face on opposite sides of the casing in a second direction,a front face and a rear face positioned on opposite sides of the casing in a third direction, the third direction being orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction,a first notch formed by a first surface that extends from an edge of the first side face in the second direction and a second surface that extends from an edge of the bottom face in the first direction,a first guided groove that is open along the third direction and into the second surface, wherein the first guided groove is positioned closer to the bottom face than to the first surface, anda second guided groove that is open along the third direction and into the second surface, wherein the second guided groove is positioned closer to the bottom face than to the first surface,wherein a portion of the second surface that is between the first guided groove and the second guided groove extends continuously from the bottom face to the first surface, such that the portion of the second surface separates the first guided groove and the second guided groove, andwherein a first end of the first guided groove and a first end of the first surface end at the front face of the casing.
