Abstract: A battery charger includes a housing and a plurality of charging ports coupled to the housing. Each charging port is configured to connect a battery pack to the battery charger. The battery charger also includes a charging circuit positioned within the housing and electrically coupled to the plurality of charging ports. The charging circuit is operable to charge the battery packs connected to the plurality of charging ports in series. The battery charger further includes a skip switch coupled to the charging circuit. The skip switch is operable to skip a battery pack currently being charged and advance to another battery pack connected to the battery charger.

Abstract: A battery charger for charging a first battery pack and a second battery pack includes a housing having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is angled relative to the second surface. The battery charger also includes a charging circuit positioned within the housing, a first charging port coupled to the housing and electrically coupled to the charging circuit, and a second charging port coupled to the housing and electrically coupled to the charging circuit. The first charging port configured to support the first battery pack, and the second charging port is configured to support the second battery pack. The battery charger further includes an indicator light associated with the first charging port. The indicator light includes a lens that extends over a portion of the first surface and a portion of the second surface.

Abstract: A battery charger for charging a first battery pack and a second battery pack includes a housing, a charging circuit positioned within the housing, and a first charging port coupled to the housing and electrically coupled to the charging circuit. The first charging port is configured to support the first battery pack and defines a first connection axis along which the first battery pack is movable to connect with the charging circuit. The battery charger also includes a second charging port coupled to the housing and electrically coupled to the charging circuit. The second charging port is configured to support the second battery pack while the first charging port supports the first battery pack. The second charging port defines a second connection axis along which the second battery pack is movable to connect with the charging circuit. The first connection axis is angled relative to the second connection axis.

Abstract: A conveyor drive system employing a constant speed master drive and a slave drive of the hydrostatic, closed loop type in which there are no electrical or hydraulic feedback lines between the master and slave drive unit. The master drive moves the conveyor at a constant speed as load varies and the slave drive unit responds to changes in load on the conveyor to vary the speed of the drive to maintain a constant pull on the conveyor to insure that the slave drive shares its portion of the load with the master drive.
