An electrical component, such as, for example, a radio, MP3 player, audio component, battery charger, radio/charger, MP3 player/radio, MP3 player/charger, or MP3 player/radio/charger. The electrical component includes a housing and an electrical circuit supported by the housing. In some aspects, the electrical component is an audio component and the electrical circuit is an audio circuit. In other aspects, the electrical component is a battery charger and the electrical circuit is a charging circuit. In further aspects, the electrical component is an MP3 player and the electrical circuit is a MP3 circuit. In yet further aspects, the electrical component is an combination of any or all of a radio, battery charger, and MP3 player and the electrical component can include any combination or all of the audio, radio, and MP3 circuits. A battery may be connectable to the housing and electrically connectable the electrical circuit.

Audio and charging system with audio device, power tool battery, and external battery charger

Electrical component, such as a radio, MP3 player, audio component, battery charger, radio/charger, MP3 player/radio, MP3 player/charger or MP3 player/radio/charger, having a selectively connectable battery charger

An electrical component, such as, for example, a radio, an audio component, a battery charger or a radio/charger, is provided. The electrical component includes a housing and an electrical circuit supported by the housing. In some aspects, the electrical component is an audio component and the electrical circuit is an audio circuit. In other aspects, the electrical component is a battery charger and the electrical circuit is a charging circuit. In yet other aspects, the electrical component may define a receptacle capable of selectively receiving batteries of different heights. In further aspects, the electrical component may support a battery inclined relative to a surface upon which the battery sits.

Electrical component including a battery receptacle for including a battery

Battery chargers and combinations. In some aspects and in some constructions, the invention may provide a combination including a battery charger having a housing and a charging circuit, and protective structure separate from and connectable with the battery charger. The protective structure, when connected, extending from the housing beyond a battery connected to the battery charger. In some aspects and in some constructions, the invention may also provide a combination including a first battery charger, a second battery charger and a connecting structure operable to connect the first battery charger and the second battery charger as a unit. In some aspects and in some constructions, the invention may further provide a combination including a battery charger and a handle separate from and connectable with the battery charger. In addition, in some aspects and in some constructions, the invention may provide a battery charger including a housing having a base and an upper portion opposite the base. A height is defined between the base and the upper portion and the base having a width less than or equal to the height.

Battery charger and assembly

Electrical component, audio component, or electrical combination having a selectively connectable battery charger

Electrical component having a selectively connectable battery charger

An electrical component, such as, for example, a radio, an audio component, a battery charger or a radio/charger. The electrical component includes a housing and an electrical circuit supported by the housing. In some aspects, the electrical component is an audio component and the electrical circuit is an audio circuit. In other aspects, the electrical component is a battery charger and the electrical circuit is a charging circuit. In further aspects, the electrical component is an audio and battery charger combined and the electrical circuit is an audio and charging circuit. A battery may be connectable to the housing and electrically connectable the electrical circuit. The electrical component may include a locking assembly operable to lock the battery in a position relative to the housing. A biasing member may be positioned within a receptacle defined by the housing and operable to bias the battery out of the receptacle.

Electrical combination, electrical component and battery charger

The invention provides an electrical combination including a power tool having a housing supporting a motor, which is operable to drive a tool element. The electrical combination also includes a battery and an adapter supportable on the housing of the power tool and electrically connectable to the power tool and the battery such that the adapter transfers electrical power between the battery and the motor. The adapter has a locking arrangement engageable with the battery for preventing the adapter from being removed from the power tool housing while the battery is connected to the adapter.

Adapter for a power tool battery

An electrical combination, a method and a power tool. An electrical combination may includes an electrical component including a component housing, and an electrical circuit supported by the component housing, a first terminal assembly at least electrically connectable to the electrical circuit, a second terminal assembly at least electrically connectable to the electrical circuit, a first battery including a first battery terminal assembly electrically connectable to the first terminal assembly to electrically connect the first battery to the electrical circuit such that power is transferable between the first battery and the electrical circuit, and a second battery including a second battery terminal assembly electrically connectable to the second terminal assembly to electrically connect the second battery to the electrical circuit such that power is transferable between the second battery and the electrical circuit. The second battery may be different than the first battery. At least one of the first battery terminal assembly is not electrically connectable to the second terminal assembly and the second battery terminal assembly is not electrically connectable to the first terminal assembly.

Electrical combination including a battery pack

A battery charger. The battery charger includes a housing having an outer surface, a battery being supportable on the outer surface, a charging circuit supported by the housing and electrically connectable to a power source and the battery, and a protective structure connected to and extending from the outer surface of the housing, the protective structure extending from the outer surface beyond the battery.

Battery charger

An electrical combination including a power tool manufactured by a first power tool company, the power tool including a tool housing and an electric motor supported by the tool housing and operable to drive a tool element, a battery manufactured by a second power tool company, and an adapter separate from and connectable between the battery and the tool housing to support the battery on the tool housing.
