Abstract

A device capable of being used for a long time is achieved. A power supply, a connection method of a power supply, or a connecting member, for easy attachment and detachment and non-detachment when in use, is provided. A power supply, a connection method of a power supply, or a connecting member for easy replacement is provided. A highly designed power supply is provided. Power from a battery is supplied to an electronic device through a connecting member including a pipe, a spring, and a pair of pivots. The pair of pivots are electrically insulated from each other, and electrically connected to any one of a pair of electrodes of the battery. The electronic device into which the pair of pivots are inserted includes a pair of bearings capable of receiving power.
