Battery-recharging device
First Claim
1. A battery recharging device for batteries (6), and for the display of battery packs (5) at a point of sale, said battery charging device comprising at least a supporting element (1, 17, 51), which includes a series of housings (2, 18) for the insertion and/or linking of, battery packs (5) at a point of sale, and means (20, 30) for the charging, recharging and/or maintenance of the electric charge, electrically connected to said housings (2, 18) wherein each pack of batteries (5) contains batteries (6), connected in series to each other, of which at least two terminals (7, 8, 80) are accessible from the outside of the pack of batteries (5) for connection to the recharging and/or maintenance means (20, 30) of an electric charger, wherein said at least one supporting element (1, 17, 51) comprises automatic selection and supply means of at least one of said battery packs (5), driven by an electronic panel (50), when a selection is effected by a user by means (10, 11, 12, 32, 33, 34) situated on the outer casing (35) of the recharging device wherein said at least one supporting element (1, 17, 51) includes a series of columns (13, 14, 16, 20, 26, 37), inside which the battery packs (5) are introduced into appropriate slits (18) and kept in a horizontal position by means of shelves (15), wherein said electronic panel (50) selects at least one battery pack (5) containing the most highly charged batteries (6) of the type selected.
