<p>An integrated battery and recharger (10) that consists of a single casing (11) wherein both a voltage storage cell and a circuit for charging that storage cell are arranged and includes a removable head (14) for attachment to that casing. The assemblage has the dimensions of a standard "C" cell battery or larger. The removable head (14), when positioned to the casing in one attitude, provides for connection of a positive pole (16) formed in that head to one side of the storage cell, with a battery negative pole (19) connected to the base of the storage cell. When the head (14) is repositioned to its other attitude to the casing, a pair of blades (15a, 15b) that extend therefrom and are for fitting into a standard household current receptacle, are connected across the charging circuit to charge the storage cell. In this charging attitude the electrical connection between the battery negative pole (19) and the base of the storage cell is broken.</p> |
