A slidable battery door assembly is described. In implementations, the slidable battery door assembly (hereinafter “door assembly”) includes a door that is slidable to control access to a battery compartment for a device. Also included is a battery contact inside the battery compartment that is coupled to the door. When the door is closed, the battery contact holds a battery in place and serves as a portion of an electrical circuit that includes the battery. The door may be slidably opened such that the battery contact releases the battery, allowing the battery to be removed from the battery compartment. Thus, the door assembly enables easy installation and removal of a battery. Further, the door assembly can be positioned to hold a battery securely in place and provide an electrically conductive connection between the battery and an electrical circuit.

1. A device comprising: a battery compartment including an aperture through which a battery is insertable into the battery compartment; anda slidable battery door assembly slidably attached to the battery compartment, the slidable battery door assembly including: a door configured to be manipulable
1. A device comprising: a battery compartment including an aperture through which a battery is insertable into the battery compartment; anda slidable battery door assembly slidably attached to the battery compartment, the slidable battery door assembly including: a door configured to be manipulable to cover and uncover the aperture; anda battery contact coupled to the door and positioned to hold the battery in place in the battery compartment such that the battery contact is positioned to form an electrical connection between the battery and at least a portion of an electrical circuit of the device, the battery contact being rotatably attached to the door such that responsive to the door being manipulated from an open position to a closed position, the battery contact pivots away from the door to a battery hold position. 2. The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the battery contact is coupled to the door through a channel in a surface of the battery compartment. 3. The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the door is manipulable to the closed position such that the battery contact pivots onto a surface of the battery and applies pressure to the surface of the battery to hold the battery in place in the battery compartment and connect the battery to the at least a portion of the electrical circuit of the device. 4. The device as recited in claim 3, wherein when the door is manipulated to the closed position, the battery contact pivots onto the surface of the battery in response to the battery contact impinging upon a contact stop protruding from a surface of the battery compartment. 5. The device as recited in claim 4, wherein the contact stop is connected to the electrical circuit of the device such that when the door is manipulated to the closed position, electricity can flow between the battery and the electrical circuit via contact between the battery contact and the contact stop. 6. The device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a spring-activated latch configured to hold the slidable battery door assembly in a closed position, the latch being configured to be manipulated to release the slidable battery door assembly such that the slidable battery door assembly transitions to an open position. 7. The device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a battery support configured to prevent electrical contact between the battery and at least a portion of the electrical circuit if the battery is incorrectly inserted in the battery compartment. 8. The device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a battery support configured to prevent the slidable battery door assembly from closing if the battery is incorrectly inserted in the battery compartment. 9. A slidable battery door assembly for a device, comprising: a door configured to be slidable to cover and uncover an aperture in a surface of a battery compartment of the device through which a battery may pass; anda battery contact coupled to the door and configured to be positioned to, responsive to the door being in a closed position, hold the battery in place in the battery compartment and form an electrical connection between the battery across the battery contact and to at least a portion of an electrical circuit of the device, the battery contact being rotatably attached to the door such that responsive to the door being manipulated from an open position to the closed position, the battery contact pivots away from the door to a battery hold position. 10. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 9, wherein the battery contact is coupled to the door via a non-conductive means such that electrical contact is not made between the battery contact and the door. 11. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 10, wherein the non-conductive means comprises a non-conductive coating on a surface of the door to which the battery contact is attached. 12. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 9, wherein the door is configured to be manipulated from the open position to the closed position in response to a single user motion. 13. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 9, wherein the battery contact is coupled to the door through a channel in the surface of the battery compartment, the slidable battery door assembly being manipulable to slide along the channel to open and close the battery compartment. 14. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 9, wherein when the door transitions to the closed position, the battery contact pivots on a shaft to contact a surface of the battery such that the battery contact holds the battery in place in the battery compartment and connects the battery to the at least a portion of the electrical circuit of the device. 15. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 9, further comprising a latch configured to engage the battery contact to hold the slidable battery door assembly in the closed position, the latch being configured to be manipulated to release the battery contact such that the slidable battery door assembly transitions to the open position. 16. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 15, wherein the latch is configured to be manipulated in response to a user pressing a latch button that protrudes from a surface of the latch and through a perforation in a surface of the device. 17. A slidable battery door assembly for a device, comprising: a door configured to be slidably manipulated to control access to a battery compartment of the device; anda battery contact rotatably coupled to and separate from the door and positioned within the battery compartment such that when the door is manipulated to a closed position, the battery contact is configured to pivot away from the battery door and onto a surface of a battery to hold the battery in place within the battery compartment. 18. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 17, wherein when the door is manipulated to the closed position, the battery contact is further configured to connect the battery to at least a portion of an electrical circuit of the device. 19. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 17, wherein the door is configured to be manipulated to the closed position in response to a single user motion. 20. The slidable battery door assembly of claim 17, further comprising a latch configured to engage the battery contact to hold the slidable battery door assembly in the closed position, the latch being configured to be manipulated to release the battery contact such that the slidable battery door assembly transitions to an open position.
