A latching arrangement of latching a battery pack in an electric device. e.g. an electric drill or a battery charger, has at least one shoulder on an outside surface of the battery pack casing. A displaceable limb, preferably a limb of a U-shaped spring is resiliently biased against the casing. A manually actuatable latch release member is movably mounted in the electric device and movable between a latching position and a release position. This limb normally blocks the shoulder in the latching position to latch the battery pack in the electric device. The release member displaces the limb away from the casing and clear of the shoulder in the release position to unlatch the battery pack and allow withdrawal thereof from the electric device. Preferably the release member comprises a yoke straddling the battery pack. Advantageously the shoulder may be steeply inclined to cause the battery pack to be urged tightly into the electric device.
