RUGGED BATTERY CONNECTOR SEAL WITH SHARK FIN PROFILE

A battery connector seal for a portable communication device includes a first sealing rib, a second sealing rib extending from the first sealing rib, a third sealing rib extending from the second sealing rib, and a fourth sealing rib extending from the third sealing rib to the first sealing rib. The first sealing rib, the second sealing rib, the third sealing rib, and the fourth sealing rib together define a central opening. The first sealing rib, the second sealing rib, the third sealing rib, and the fourth sealing rib are positioned to receive a battery sliding across the third sealing rib toward the first sealing rib. The third sealing rib has a non-symmetrical cross-sectional profile.
