Benefits and Uses
InstaLoad™ battery contacts are especially helpful when they are used in devices that:
• Use multiple batteries
• Require frequent battery swap out
• May be damaged by having the battery inserted incorrectly
• Require battery replacement at inconvenient times or locations
• For battery operated device suppliers, InstaLoad™ technology can help to differentiate your products while offering a better customer experience.
Battery Sizes
InstaLoad™ technology can be used with AA, AAA, C, D batteries. Devices that require cylindrical form factor batteries (disposable and rechargeable) can use the InstaLoad™ technology, including less common cylindrical battery sizes such as CR123.
Typical Product Applications
Portable lighting, flashlights, battery chargers, toys, consumer electronics, mice and keyboards, and all other battery operated devices using standard off-the-shelf cylindrical batteries can use InstaLoad™ technology.
General Architecture
InstaLoad™ is a mechanical battery contact design that does not require special electronics or circuitry. The InstaLoad™ battery configuration includes a set of positive and negative contacts at both ends, instead of a single positive contact at one end and a single negative contact at the other end.
