Abstract
The present invention provides a flexible slide mounting member for use with a battery package which is disposed on a top surface of a battery and is electrically connected to terminal posts extending outwardly from the battery. In one embodiment, the flexible slide mounting member comprises an elongated member having a central opening extending the length of the flexible slide mounting member and has a rectangular cross section, wherein the central opening receives and retains a portion of the battery package. The flexible slide mounting member has a predetermined number of raised, retaining rails formed on an outer surface thereof, wherein the retaining rails complementarily engage retaining grooves formed on the portions of the housings which are received within the opening of the flexible slide mounting member. Accordingly, the flexible slide mounting member is designed to provide adjustment of the battery package relative to the terminal posts of the battery by permitting the housings of the battery package to be adjustably positionable within the flexible slide mounting member. Thus, the flexible slide mounting member provides adjustment not only for the large variation in terminal post location but also for a range of battery sizes.
