Claim 12:
13. A charging device comprising:
an input port that is electrically connected to an external power source provided externally and that is configured to be able to input direct-current power and alternating-current power from the external power source;
an output port that is electrically connected to an electrified vehicle and that outputs direct-current power to the electrified vehicle; and
a relay circuit that relays power between the input port and the output port,
wherein the relay circuit includes:
a converter circuit that converts alternating-current power into direct-current power when the alternating-current power is input to the input port,
an input bypass circuit that causes direct-current power to bypass the converter circuit when the direct-current power is input to the input port, and
a second input switch that switches between the converter circuit and the input bypass circuit, and
an input information receiving unit that receives, from the external power source, input information indicating whether power input from the external power source to the input port is direct-current power or alternating-current power, and

wherein the second input switch switches between the converter circuit and the input bypass circuit based on the input information received by the input information receiving unit.
