You probably didn't. The cells on one side of the tray stay loose and a
stiff spring inside the newton goes through the hole at the end of the
tray to make contact with the cell chain. This provides both eject
impulse when removing the tray and provides no small amount of
anti-shorting protection for filled trays and rechargable packs stored
without protective endcaps.
