  • Publication number: 20240047983
    Abstract: A charge-storage workstation system and method for controlling and monitoring several different battery chargers, for notifying a user of the charged status of several different batteries, for eliminating power consumption by inactive battery chargers, and for safe convenient storage of rechargeable-battery-powered tools. A frame, broad-set legs, narrow-set legs, top surface, and skirt support the tools and the other components. Electric power is supplied through an electric supply cord to a main GFCI outlet and to charger outlets. Various battery chargers are plugged into the charger outlets through sensors which sense current drawn by the battery chargers. A charge controller-monitor senses the current drawn by each battery charger through the corresponding sensor and reports the charged status of each battery as specified by the user. Under user control, the charge controller-monitor can cut power to inactive battery chargers to reduce wasteful use of electric power.
