Abstract: A battery charger includes a housing, first and second charger interfaces, first and second vents, and a shutter. The first and second charger interfaces are formed on the housing. Each charger interface receives and charges a respective battery pack. The first and second vents are defined in the housing. Each vent provides an airflow path defined through the respective battery pack and the housing. The shutter is provided for each charger interface and can move between an actuated position, in which the shutter is oriented to at least partially block the airflow path, and an unactuated position, in which the shutter is out of the airflow path.

Abstract: A charger includes a housing with an interface positioned in a front wall and configured to engage a battery pack. The interface includes charging terminals positioned between a first rail and a second rail, a first groove positioned between the first rail and a wall of the housing, and a second groove positioned between the second rail and the wall of the housing. The interface is in communication with an interior of the housing. A fan is coupled within the housing adjacent the interface, and an air passage member includes a hollow body that has a first end coupled to the fan and a second end spaced apart from the first end extending through another wall of the housing. The fan is operable to suck an air flow into the housing from outside the housing and guide the air flow through the air passage member to the interface.

Abstract: A charging station includes a housing defining a forward side and a rear side opposite the forward side and a charging port disposed on the housing. The charging port includes a battery receptacle to receive and charge a battery pack. The charging station also includes a magnet assembly disposed on the rear side of the housing. The magnet assembly is configured to support the housing from a mating surface.

Abstract: A charging station includes a hub configured to house electronics for controlling the charging station, a first wing extending from the hub in a first direction, a second wing extending from the hub in a second direction opposite the first direction, a first charging port disposed on one or more of the first wing and the second wing, the first charging port including a first battery receptacle configured to receive and charge a battery pack of a first type, a second charging port disposed on the hub, the second charging port including a second battery receptacle configured to receive and charge a battery pack of a second type different than the first type, and a mount assembly coupled to one or more of the hub, the first wing, and the second wing. The mount assembly is configured to selectively mount the charging station on a structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a battery charger including a housing, a battery-cooling fan, a duct, charging electronics, and an electronics-cooling fan. The housing includes a battery interface with a battery pack attachment portion at least partially surrounded by a battery-facing opening. A front opening is defined in the housing and is in fluid communication with the battery-facing opening. A rear opening and a lateral opening are also defined in the housing, between which charging electronics are disposed. The lateral opening is in fluid communication with the rear opening. The lateral opening is disposed at a location along a length of the housing between the front and rear openings. The battery-cooling fan is disposed between the battery-facing opening and the front opening. A duct forms a discrete flow path between the battery-facing opening and the front opening. An electronics-cooling fan is disposed in the housing between the rear and lateral openings.
