Abstract: A recharging apparatus for charging a plurality of units coupled thereto. The apparatus includes a housing having parallel first and second elongate slots defined therein and first and second elongate magnetic strips disposed within their respective slots. First and second elongate electrodes are disposed within the slots adjacent respective first and second magnetic strips, wherein each of the electrodes have an upper edge which extends beyond a surface of the housing for electrical contact with respective electrodes on the unit to be charged. Charging contacts are electrically coupled to supply a potential difference across the first and second electrodes and to consequently charge the rechargeable units mounted magnetically to the housing.
