ORIENTATION AGNOSTIC BATTERY PLACEMENT

In general, the subject matter of the disclosure relates to an orientation agnostic battery placement device. Connecting a battery in a reversed polarity configuration may cause the battery-powered electronic devices to not work or in some cases may even cause damage to the device itself. The disclosed orientation agnostic battery placement device includes a latch relay device that includes a first latch switch that electrically connects the first and second terminals of a battery compartment to the positive and negative electrical power connections of a load circuitry associated with the battery-powered electronic device respectively when the battery received within the battery compartment is in a first orientation and a second switch that electrically connects the first and second terminals of the battery compartment to the negative and positive electrical power connections of the load circuitry respectively when the battery received within the battery compartment is in a second orientation.
