Abstract
A battery pack contains rechargeable batteries, and is provided with a recessed area to insert a battery charger for charging. The recessed area has battery contacts to make electrical connection with a battery charger inserted within it. In this invention, the battery pack is not inserted into a recessed region of a battery charger, but rather the battery charger is inserted into the recessed area provided on the battery pack to charge the rechargeable batteries.
