NOVELTY - The device is provided with a battery pack (48) with a flattened cross section. A terminal plate (58) is located at an end of the battery pack for covering a portion of a printed circuit board that electrically connects the battery pack to a portable electronic device to provide power to electronic device. A polyester label (70) is provided with a label section adhesively coupled to an underside surface of the power pack and a pull tab (76) coupled to the label section, where the pull tab protrudes from a power pack-receiving a cavity of the electronic device.    USE - Power pack removal device for portable electronic device (claimed) such as handheld computer e.g. wireless personal digital assistant (PDA), cellular telephone, smart telephone, electronic messaging device, music player, two-way pager, gaming device, remote control and laptop computer, including communication sub-system such as WiFi 802.11 system, global system for mobile communication (GSM) system, general packet radio services (GPRS) system, enhanced data GSM environment (EDGE) or Universal mobile telecommunications service (UMTS) system.    ADVANTAGE - The pull tab forms section of a back portion of the label, ensuring that when the label is applied to the battery pack and a user pulls on the pull tab to remove the battery pack from the portable electronic device, the back portion of the label is pulled toward the battery pack. The pull tab of the label facilitates removal of the battery pack without pulling the label away from the battery pack and relying on the integrity of the adhesive between the label and the battery pack, thus reducing any damage to the label. The pull tab includes a tear-away feature to allow a user who finds the pull tab to be bothersome to easily remove the pull tab. The tear-away feature can be a perforated joint. Most battery packs are provided with a label to convey battery information, branding information and/or other information to the user. An existing portion is able to perform two functions such as providing information and facilitating battery removal by integrating the pull tab into the label, which can reduce cost as well as reduce manufacturing time. The pull tab includes an adhesive portion that temporarily maintains the pull tab in generally the same plane as the battery pack so that the pull tab does not interfere with the battery cover. The size of the battery pack can be enlarged because there is no portion of the battery pack volume that is dedicated to accommodating fingernail recesses. The cavity of the portable electronic device does not need to include similar features to allow for battery removal access. The label does not significantly increase the thickness of the battery pack. The label can be used with any battery pack.
