Method for preventing erroneous loading of component-to-be-loaded on main body side apparatus, component-to-be-loaded and battery pack

1. A battery device for being loaded on an electronic apparatus, comprising:

a casing configured to house at least one battery cell therein, said casing having first and second side surfaces and first and second end surfaces, said first end surface defining an outermost surface of said casing;

a plurality of terminal members;

a terminal case disposed in said casing, said terminal case having a front surface and a top surface;

a plurality of terminal grooves disposed in said terminal case, said terminal grooves being opened to two surfaces of said terminal case and in which said plurality of terminal members are disposed;

first and second guide grooves in said terminal case, provided at respective transverse opposite ends of said plurality of terminal grooves, and opened to said two surfaces of said terminal case;

first and second terminal positioning rib bodies formed on said casing and projecting from said first end surface for positioning the terminal case in said casing, each of said positioning rib bodies extending in a direction beyond the top surface of said terminal case; and

wherein said terminal case, including said front surface, projects outwardly from said first end surface of said casing so as to extend beyond said outermost surface of said casing.

2. The battery device according to claim 1 , further including a concave portion disposed at a corner formed between said end surface and a longitudinal side surface.

3. The battery device according to claim 2 , wherein said concave portion is adapted to receive and engage a locking member in said electronic apparatus.

4. The battery device according to claim 1 , wherein said terminal case is offset from a longitudinal center line of said casing.
