Abstract
This invention includes a pocket for a charger that is capable of accommodating a number of different batteries, each battery having a different mechanical and electrical form factor. The pocket includes a pocket divider that may be inserted into multiple pairs of notches. The pocket divider thereby allows the pocket to be reconfigured. The pocket further comprises at least two sets of electrical contacts, and at least two springs for ensuring the proper contact force between a battery and the electrical contacts.
