Abstract
A portable battery recharger, together with the battery, provides a secure connection between the battery and the recharger when the battery is being recharged. A locking groove formed on the side of the battery and a rotatable locking member hold the battery in place during recharging. A sliding slide with a grip is used to operate the locking member so as to disengage the battery when recharging is complete. A door is formed over the enclosure of the recharging case when the battery is not being recharged. Upon insertion of the battery into the recharger, the door opens to accommodate the battery. The charging device and the battery in accordance with this invention strengthens the force of attachment between the battery to the charging device. The door to the charging device prevents dust from entering the case of the charging device when the battery is not mounted.
