Abstract: There is provided a battery accommodating structure in electronic equipment such as a portable computer or the like, which structure is suitable for a general-purpose large-capacity battery and can implement miniaturization of the device and enhancement of resistance to drop impact. In the battery accommodating structure, a first engagement portion (15) which is engaged with a first hook portion (14) formed on the inner surface of one end portion of a battery cover (3) is formed on the outer wall of a housing (4) just below an opening portion of a battery accommodating room (31), and a second engagement portion (13) which is engaged with a second hook portion (12) formed on the end face plate of the other end portion of the battery cover (3) is formed on the wall surface of the housing (4) which constitutes one inner end of the battery accommodating room (31).
