ABSTRACT:
A system for charging batteries having a system controller (12) and battery charging units (16) powered by a common power line (14). The system controller (12) contains charge instructions corresponding to various types of batteries and the battery packs (18) have an identifier to identify which set of instructions are used to charge the battery pack (18). Further, the battery charging units (16) and the system controller communicate over the common power line (14) by power line carrier communications. When a battery pack (18) is inserted into one of the battery charging units (16), it obtains the battery identification and sends it to the system controller (12). The system controller (12) alternatively sends the corresponding charge instructions to the charger, or begins to run the charge instructions and controls the charger remotely. In either case, the battery pack (18) is charged according to the charge instructions.
