This patent describes an integrated battery and recharger comprising, a casing having parallel top and bottom ends that are at right angles to a side wall, that includes a top and base for closing over the casing ends. The top consists of an upstanding shoulder formed to have a flat upper surface between upstanding side walls that extend at right angles upwardly from a flat top surface. The battery and recharger has a rechargeable electrical storage cell means, and circuitry for recharging the electrical storage cell means both for assembly within the casing and a head to fit alongside and against the upstanding shoulder. The head includes parallel flat faces that are at right angles to and between an upstanding wall having opposite sides, which sides will each fit closely against the shoulder. The head includes a positive pole in one face that extends outwardly therefrom, and a pair of electrically conductive blades arranged to extend parallel to one another from the opposite head face, projecting outwardly at a normal angle to the face. The battery and recharger includes an electrical connector means for coupling to contacts in the head for alternatively electrically connecting the positive pole to the electrical storage cell means; and means for connecting a battery negative pole across the electrical storage cell means negative side and the positive pole to the electrical storage cell means positive side.
