BATTERY LOCKING MECHANISM

Devices, assemblies, and associated methods are provided for mobile devices. An example mobile device includes a body defining a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a cavity at the second surface that receives a battery therein. The mobile device includes a locking mechanism coupled with the cavity of the body that moves between an unlocked position and a locked position at which the locking mechanism secures the battery within the cavity in an instance in which the battery is received by the cavity. The cavity and the locking mechanism are configured to prevent a contact between the battery and the locking mechanism that results in movement of the locking mechanism from the locked position to the unlocked position.
