A second recess is defined in a bottom of the box and two terminal plates are pivotably received in the second recess. The two terminal plates are connected to the first contact port when the terminal plates are pivoted out from the second recess. A second contact port is connected to the batteries and located in the first recess.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a rechargeable power supply pack for hand tools wherein an adapter and rechargeable batteries are received in the pack so that the pack can be plugged in the receptacle by its terminal plates to be charged.
