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 18):
The charger according to  claim 17 , wherein the instructions further comprise instructions that cause, when executed, the processor to:\n determine whether a battery temperature of the first battery pack exceeds a first predetermined temperature threshold for the first battery pack, determine whether a battery temperature of the second battery pack exceeds a second predetermined temperature threshold for the second battery pack, set the first battery pack to a standby state when the battery temperature of the first battery pack is determined to exceed the first predetermined temperature threshold for the first battery pack; set the second battery pack to the standby state when the battery temperature of the second battery pack is determined to exceed the second predetermined temperature threshold for the second battery pack; and when one of the first battery pack and the second battery pack is in the standby state and the other of the first battery pack and the second battery pack is not in the standby state, set the other of the first battery pack and the second battery pack that is not in the standby state as the charging target.
