ABSTRACT:
A multiple-cell battery charger includes a housing having an open end leading to a chamber in the housing and adapted to receive battery cells of a pre-determined size in side-by-side abutting relation and another end having an opening which is adapted to retain the battery cells in said housing but permit removal when desired, one at a time, in a first in, first out order. An elongate negative contactor strip and an elongate positive connector buss strip are coupled to the leads of a D.C. power supply source and are positioned along opposite sides in the housing. The negative strip is formed with detent contact portions, each for making electrical contact with the negative terminal of a cell. Contact members are electrically coupled to the positive connector strip and are positioned to contact the positive terminal of individual cells. As preferably embodied, each contact member includes a heat generating circuit element, and a liquid crystal indicator is mounted to the housing, adjacent each heat generating circuit element.
