ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a battery discrimination system which provides for charging a battery of a mobile terminal where the battery may be any one of a plurality of types of batteries each having different charge characteristics. The system includes a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal including a battery pack housing for storing at least one of a plurality of batteries. The plurality of batteries including batteries of a first battery type and batteries of a second battery type, the batteries of the first battery type having charge characteristics different from the batteries of the second battery type. The system further includes a docking cradle for receiving and storing the mobile terminal. The cradle includes a battery charger for charging the at least one of a plurality of batteries. The battery charger includes a battery discriminator for identifying whether the at least one of a plurality of batteries is of the first battery type or of the second battery type, wherein the battery charger charges the one of a plurality of batteries in accordance with the identification of the battery type determined by the battery discriminator.
