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 1):
A charger comprising:\n a plurality of connecting parts configured such that at least two slide-type batteries having differing mounting parts are respectively mountable on the plurality of connecting parts; one power supply circuit that generates charging power from input electric power; a plurality of charging paths that respectively connect the power supply circuit to the plurality of connecting parts; a plurality of open/close parts respectively provided in the plurality of charging paths, each open/close part being configured such that, in a closed state, the respective charging path is set to a connected state, and in an open state, the respective charging path is set to a disconnected state; and a charging-control part configured such that:\n a battery connected to one of the plurality of connecting parts serves as the charging target, \n the open/close part, from among the plurality of open/close parts, provided in the charging path, which is connected to the charging target via the connecting part, is set to the closed state, and \n the charging target is charged to a predetermined voltage by a charging current that is suited for the charging target.
