Abstract: A charger includes a charger housing with at least one battery-charging space accessible from the outside for positioning of a rechargeable battery unit, a charging electronics unit in the charger housing for controlling an electrical charging operation for the battery unit positioned on the battery-charging space, and a cooling-air-guiding structure configured for guiding a cooling-air flow from an air inlet structure of the charger housing via the charging electronics unit to an air outlet structure of the charger housing. The cooling-air-guiding structure has a cooling housing arranged in the interior of the charger housing and has a cooling housing air inlet structure and a cooling housing air outlet structure, and is configured for guiding the cooling-air flow through the cooling housing from the cooling housing air inlet structure to the cooling housing air outlet structure and from the latter to the air outlet structure of the charger housing.

Abstract: A device for charging a battery pack includes a first battery compartment for a first battery pack and at least one second battery compartment for a further battery pack. The device is connected to a service voltage via a power supply unit. A voltage regulator is connected to the power supply and has a power output connected to the battery compartment. To charge battery packs with different performance data in a battery compartment, a first voltage regulator with a first power output for a first maximum charging current and at least one second voltage regulator having a second power output a second maximum charging current are provided. A switch arrangement is provided, which is designed to selectively connect the power output of a voltage regulator to only one battery compartment or the power outputs of at least two voltage regulators can be connected to just one battery compartment.

Abstract: A charger has a plurality of electrical interfaces, wherein a respective electrical interface is able to be coupled to an electrical energy store to be charged, in order to charge the electrical energy store to be charged. A common charge line of the charger carries a charging potential, in particular a positive charging potential, during the charging operation of the charger.

Abstract: A multi-port charger has a plurality of charging ports, each configured for removably mounting and electrically charging a rechargeable battery unit, an indicator command unit and a user-activatable command activation unit which is configured to activate the indicator command unit, as well as a corresponding battery multi-port charger set. The indicator command unit is configured to send a charge status indicator command, which commands the battery unit mounted on the respective charging port to indicate its charge status on a battery-side display unit. Use may be for charging battery packs for electric garden and forestry working apparatus.
