Abstract

A modular, stackable battery pack and electronic accessory system which allows one or more batteries to simultaneously power one or more electronic accessories. The battery packs and accessories each have two opposing faces which are configured to releasable mate with each other and to provide electrical connection between the components. In some embodiments, the accessory is configured to be one of the terminal ends of the system, and thus has only one face with a releasable connector. The other face may be reserved for operation of the accessory. In other embodiments, the battery packs themselves may also comprise an electronic accessory. Accessories suitable in the practice of this invention include a cellular telephone, a PDA, a pager, a personal stereo (AM/FM radio or cassette, DAT or CD player), a calculator, an alarm clock, an electronic address book, a shaver, a solar powered battery pack recharger, a voice memo recorder, a tazer or a flashlight.
