1. A portable power tool, comprising:
a first handle extending in an elongated manner and configured to be held by a user;
an electric motor;
a tool accessory configured to undergo an orbital and/or rotational motion in response to generation of a rotational driving force by the electric motor; and
a battery mounting part configured to be detachably attached to a battery that serves as a power source for the electric motor,
wherein:
an extension direction of the first handle is defined as a front-rear direction of the power tool,
a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction is defined as an up-down direction, the first handle and the tool accessory being arranged in series in the up-down direction,
in the up-down direction, a first side of the power tool on which the first handle is located is defined as an upper side, and a second, opposite side of the power tool on which the tool accessory is located is defined as a lower side,
the battery mounting part includes an upward mounting surface on which the battery is mountable, and at least one terminal configured to be electrically connected to the battery in response to a surface of the battery that includes a connection interface being placed on the mounting surface,
the battery mounting part is configured such that, when the battery is mounted on the battery mounting part, the battery is disposed entirely above the electric motor in the up-down direction, and
the upward mounting surface is located at a position different from the first handle such that the upward mounting surface and the first handle do not overlap in the front-rear direction, and is located below an upper side of the first handle in the up-down direction.
