Rechargeable battery pack, in particular for use with electrical hand tool devices, charging device, and rechargeable battery pack and charging device system

摘要

A rechargeable battery pack (20), in particular, for use with electrical hand tool devices, comprises a first and a second charging connection (24, 26), and a third control connection (28), all three being connectable to a charging device (46) for producing a charging connection, and with a calculating means (30) which can be addressed via an interface circuit (32), wherein the interface circuit uses the third control connection (28). In order to prevent destruction of the rechargeable battery pack due to erroneous charging, a non-linear component (34) is disposed in the interface circuit (32) which, upon control of the interface circuit (32) by the charging device (46), can be distinguished from an NTC component, thereby permitting detection of the rechargeable battery type when the calculating means (30) provides no identification information in response to control by the charging device (46).
