The plug includes a pair of generally parallel, spaced prongs (88). The plug rotates from a first position, having the prongs projecting from the case, to a second position having the prongs retracted into the case. Electrical leads (47) extend from each of the electrical terminals to battery terminals. A pair of contacts (110) and (112) spaced from another, interrupts each of the electrical leads.
