Claim 11:
12. A charging station for charging a battery of an autonomous traveling work machine that performs predetermined work while traveling autonomously, comprising a shutoff switch and a controller, the shutoff switch being for shutting off the supply power, and the controller comprising a processor configured to function as:
a current detector for detecting a charging current on which a signal indicating period information for defining a shutoff period of supply power to be supplied to the autonomous traveling work machine is superimposed by the autonomous traveling work machine;
an information acquisition unit for acquiring the period information based on a detection result of the current detector; and
a shutoff controller for controlling an operation of the shutoff unit, wherein the shutoff controller releases the shutoff of the supply power based on the period information acquired by the information acquisition unit.
