Is there a something similar to DSLR batteries to power up PCBs?

Question

I'm working on a project that requires the user to regularly swap battery packs to keep an esp32 board running. For the prototype we are using one of these batteries that seem to be quite common to find:

Swapping this kind of battery is not a smooth process, and I think the connector might not be meant for regular mating.

Are there any batteries similar to those of DSLRs? or any other good alternatives?

I recently came across Duracell selling battery replacements for common DSLRs, the problem is that I'm finding it hard to find the terminals for these batteries so that we can add them to the final design of the PCB.

I'm aware that voltage and power wise these will vary a lot. I'm primarily asking for PCB components similar to those found in DSLR that can be bought commercially.

Answer 1

the problem is that I'm finding it hard to find the terminals for these batteries so that we can add them to the final design of the PCB.

Consider instead batteries that have flush target pads, such as the ones used in cell phones, for example these.

Then, use spring-loaded contacts to mate to the battery (my site):

• Pogo PCB pins
• Pogo PCB header
• Spring leaf PCB terminals
• Spring leaf PCB header
