Abstract
A charger for a battery-operated surgical machine includes a charging circuit and a housing. The housing contains the charging circuit and is provided with at least one plug receptacle means for the battery component of the surgical machine. The housing is also fitted with a selector switch connected to the charging circuit. In a first position of the selector switch the charging circuit charges the battery immediately, while in a second position of the switch the charging circuit first discharges the battery down to a predetermined lower potential and then charges it up to a predetermined higher potential.
