1. A kit comprising:
- (a) a plurality of power tools having power tool housings of substantially similar constructions, power tools in the kit being configured to operate at an operating voltage different from each other;
(b) a plurality of receivers having receiver housings of substantially similar constructions, the receivers being configured for providing power to the power tools, the plurality of receivers including(i) a first receiver including a power source configured to provide a first output voltage,(ii) a second receiver including a power source configured to provide a second output voltage greater than the first output voltage,(iii) a third receiver including a power source configured to provide a third output voltage greater than the second output voltage, andwherein the first receiver is configured to engage and provide power to power tools having an operating voltage equal to the first output, second output and third output,wherein the second receiver is configured to engage and provide power to power tools having an operating voltage equal to the second output and third output but not to engage and provide power to power tools having an operating voltage equal to the first output, andwherein the third receiver is configured to engage and provide power to power tools having an operating voltage equal to the third output but not to engage and provide power to power tools having an operating voltage equal to the first output and not to engage and provide power to power tools having an operating voltage equal to the second output.

Abstract
A kit comprising a plurality of power tools configured to operate on different operating voltages and a plurality of receivers configured to provide different output charging voltages for charging the power tools. Each receiver is configured to engage and charge only the one or more power tools having an operating voltage equal to or greater than the output charging voltage of that receiver.

12. A kit comprising:
-
(a) a plurality of power tools, a power tool in the kit being configured to operate at an operating voltage different from another power tool in the kit; (b) a plurality of receivers configured for providing power to the power tools, the plurality of receivers including (i) a first receiver including a power source configured to provide a first output voltage, (ii) a second receiver including a power source configured to provide a second output voltage greater than the first output voltage, and wherein the first receiver is configured to engage and provide power to a power tool having an operating voltage equal to the first output and is configured to engage and provide power to a power tool having an operating voltage equal to the second output, wherein the second receiver is configured to engage and provide power to a power tool having an operating voltage equal to the second output but not to engage and provide power to a power tool having an operating voltage equal to the first output, wherein the receivers are configured to engage and provide power to only power tools having an operating voltage equal to or greater than their respective output voltages. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
