A battery charger 40 having a battery temperature detector 10 connected by a wire A to charging control circuitry, also has means 30'" for releasably securing the detector 10 to a battery 50 under charge. The securing means may be an adjustable clamping device 30'", a magnet (30), (Fig. 2), suction discs (30'), (Figs. 4, 5) or a belt (30''), (Fig. 6). The detector 10 may be a thermistor (20), (Figs. 1, 2), in a housing having a battery-engaging base (12) of good thermal conductivity and an upper shell or cover (11) of low thermal conductivity. <IMAGE> |
