Searching for soldering battery pin

Question

Hi to all. I have a problem due my lack of knowledge in the naming (and probably some other knowledge I should design a custom battery holder based on a standard type of batteris, formerly the Canon LP-E8 1300 mAh (this is a model link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00IHZ3E8A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) Unfortunately I have no idea what is the name of this kind of soldering connector but I support that exists... In attach a detailed explanation of the connectors used in the compatible battery charger Thank you in advance. Enrico

Hi Enrico,

Oh, I see. So the battery has the springy pieces, and the charger just has the fixed blades?

I'm not sure what could be suitable : (

It could be worth contacting Keystone, they may have something appropriate. They do battery

contacts etc.

Or if it is low volume, maybe something like this could be bent into a straighter shape with a home-made press/jig for consistency:

Hi Enrico!

Possibly these types of pins may work: Spring Loaded Contacts & Probes | Farnell element14

The battery might use custom contacts made for Canon, but if it is just a flat metal contact area then

the spring-loaded contacts at that link could work.

I'm thinking the easiest way os tho find a cheap asian sourced supplier, or find some suitable terminals and mould your own.

They almost appear to be a board to board style connector.

You do give us the tricky questions.
