Abstract:
A charger ( 5 ) includes connecting parts ( 31, 32 ), a main converter ( 83 ), charging paths (Cpa, Cpb), switching elements (SWa, SWb), and a charging-control part ( 200 ). A first battery (Ba) having a first mounting part ( 11 ) and a second battery (Bb) having a second, different mounting part ( 21 ) are respectively mountable on the connecting parts ( 31, 32 ). The charging paths (Cpa, Cpb) respectively connect the main converter ( 83 ) to the connecting parts ( 31, 32 ). The switching elements (SWa, SWb) respectively connect or disconnect the charging paths (Cpa, Cpb) to/from the main converter ( 83 ). The charging-control part ( 200 ) selects one of the batteries (Ba, Bb) as the charging target and sets the charging path, to which the charging target (Ba, Bb) is connected, to the connected state. Then, the charger ( 5 ) charges the charging target to a predetermined voltage using a charging current suited to the charging target.

Claim (Index 10):
The charger according to  claim 3 , further comprising:\n a diagnostic part configured to diagnose the plurality of open/close parts prior to starting the charging of the charging target by the charging-control part; wherein: each of the open/close parts comprises a field-effect transistor, the connecting parts each comprise a pair of rail parts configured to slidably engage corresponding slide rails on the mounting parts of the batteries; the rail parts of one of the connecting parts are spaced farther apart than the rail parts of the other of the connecting parts; the predetermined voltage of one of the batteries is higher than the predetermined voltage of the other of the batteries and the charging-control part is configured such that: if at least two of the batteries are respectively connected to at least two of the connecting parts and the battery temperature of one of the connected batteries exceeds a predetermined temperature threshold for that battery, then the battery whose battery temperature exceeds its temperature threshold is set to a standby state, and the other battery is charged first.
