A charger receives the power signal to charge the battery. A power selecting unit includes a unit for transmitting the power signal from the power adapter to the battery through the charger when the first power transmission route for the alternating current signal is selected. A unit for transmitting the power signal from the power adapter to the battery when the second power transmission route for the direct current signal is selected.
