Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a battery having at least one contact pad that has a first pad portion and a second pad portion positioned on adjacent surfaces of the battery. A connecting device configured to electrically couple the battery to a terminal body includes an electrically conductive flexible terminal having first and second contact portions biased to contact the first and second pad portions of the battery. The mobile terminal also includes an insulation mount configured to support the flexible terminal. One end of the flexible terminal is coupled to the insulation mount and the other end of the flexible terminal is free. The flexible terminal is configured to increase contact pressure of the second contact portion against the second pad portion of the battery when force is applied to the first contact portion of the flexible terminal in a direction away from first pad portion of the battery.
