That is, the mounting surface 1a of the first device 1 and the mounting surface 2a of the battery case 2 are aligned with each other, that is, the engaging piece 7 is engaged with the guide groove 11 to attach the mounting surface 1a of the first device 1. The work of bringing the mounting surface 2a of the battery case 2 and the mounting surface 2a of the battery case 2 into contact with each other can be surely and easily performed by the ridges 5a and 5b formed on one side guiding the other side surfaces facing each other. In this state, the engagement piece 7 is slid toward the guide holding groove 12 so that the first device 1 and the battery case 2 have the protrusions 5a and 5b.
And the connector 3a and the connector 3b are engaged and held in an electrically connected state by being guided by the engaging piece 7 and sliding relative to each other.

なしたことを特徴とする電池ケースが接続される機器。1. A battery case in which a second connector for electrical connection is arranged on the second mounting surface is detachable, and a battery case is electrically connected to the first mounting surface corresponding to the battery case. In the first device in which the first connector is arranged, a guide groove extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the mounting surface is formed on the side surfaces facing each other from the end portion of the second mounting surface, and the mounting surface from the end portion of the guide groove. One of a groove provided with a guide holding groove extending in parallel with or a protrusion provided with an engaging piece engaging with the groove on the second mounting surface is formed in the battery case. Correspondingly, a guide groove extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the mounting surface is provided on side surfaces facing each other from the end portion of the first mounting surface, and a guide holding groove extending from the end portion of the guide groove in parallel with the mounting surface. A groove or an engaging piece for engaging the groove on the first mounting surface. The other of the ridges provided on the battery is provided, and the engaging piece formed on the ridge allows the battery to be mounted during a relative mounting operation in a direction orthogonal to the mounting surface of the battery case and the first device. The case is guided in the guide groove, and the battery case is guided and engaged in the guide holding groove during a subsequent relative mounting operation in a direction parallel to the battery case and the mounting surface of the first device. A device to which a battery case is connected, characterized in that the mutual connectors are held in an electrically connected state.
