Abstract

An electrical appliance (100) has battery packs (10) which are supported on a chassis (102) of the appliance (100) in a visible position. Each pack (10) has a handle (24) which a user can grasp to withdraw the pack (10) from the chassis (102). The handle has a lever (26) which a user can squeeze to operate a securing mechanism to release the pack (10) from the chassis (102). Should a user attempt to lift the appliance (100) by the battery pack handle (24) rather than the proper appliance carrying handle (27), the pack will be released from the chassis (102), thus preventing any damage to the appliance.
