BATTERY CHARGER FOR CYLINDRICAL BATTERIES

摘要

Battery charger for cylindrical cells which comprises a substantially cylindrical housing with respective bottom and upper parts separated by a pair of opposing recesses. In operation the housing is arranged in upright position and the recesses have planar rear faces extending in parallel with each other and with the axis of symmetry of the housing. Spaced guiding ribs are provided at upper and lower end zones of the faces to laterally guide the cells to be inserted. Contact members are arranged at upper and lower end walls of the recesses between the ribs to spring-bias the cells inserted. The bottom part is capable of locating a mains transformer. Slots are defined in lower and upper parts of the housing which define an airflow cooling channel.
