Abstract
A battery charger may accommodate simultaneous charging of one or more batteries. The battery charger may also accommodate high power charging of a single battery. Li-type and/or Ni-type Batteries equipped with RFID technology may communicate with the battery charger equipped with similar technology to provide default charge settings in response to battery chemistry type, cell count, recommended charge rates, number of charges on the battery, among other information. The charge parameters may be user-adjustable in an 'advanced mode' of the battery charger. Several safety features may be included.
