Abstract

An intelligent charging system includes a charging device, a battery pack, an electric tool powered by the battery pack, and a terminal device capable of communicating with the charging device and having a network communication function on its own. The charging system provides effective information chains between the integral parts, achieves remote operation or setting, improves utilization rate of the charging system, and facilitates the user to use an apparatus obtaining electrical energy from the charging system in a planned manner. The charging assembly helps the user to use the terminal device to control the charging procedure.
