A charging apparatus for charging a battery of an electrically operable vehicle includes a plug element, a base element, and adjusting facility. The plug element is connectable to a corresponding, vehicle-side plug element of the motor vehicle and via which electrical energy is transferrable to the motor vehicle so as to charge the battery. The base element is connected to a current source and provides electrical energy from the current source for the plug element. Via the adjusting facility the plug element is movable relative to the base element in order to connect the plug element to the vehicle-side plug element, and via which an electrical connection is provided between the base element and the plug element. The adjusting facility has an overload protection via which the base element is electrically separated from the plug element in the event of a predetermined mechanical maximal load being exceeded.

A handheld portable solenoid activation device for operating doors of hopper railcars includes a battery power source and is configured for safe single hand operation in either opening or closing arrangements, recharging of the batteries, and isolation of the electrical components from the operator. The device or remote includes a housing configured to be held in one hand of the user; a battery power source within the housing; a pair of leads extending from the housing and selectively coupled to the battery power source and configured to align and connect with the touch plate and ground plate of a railroad car door operating solenoid; and an activator configured for one handed operation by the user, wherein activation when the leads are connecting the touch plate and ground plate will activate the solenoid for opening or closing of the railroad car door.

A solar powered charger assembly for charging batteries for cordless tools includes a housing that has a charging slot being integrated into the housing to insertably receive a battery from a cordless tool. A charging battery is positioned within the housing and the charging battery is in electrical communication with the charging slot. The charging battery charges the battery of the cordless tool when the battery for the cordless tool is inserted into the charging slot. A plurality of solar panels is each electrically coupled to the housing such that each of the solar panels is exposed to sunlight. Each of the solar panels is in electrical communication with the charging battery for charging the charging battery.

A solar powered charging assembly for charging electronic devices includes a housing that has a plurality of charge ports each integrated into the housing to insertably receive a charge cord of an electronic device. Each of the charge ports is structurally unique with respect to each other to accommodate a respective one of a plurality of proprietary charge cords. A battery is positioned within the housing and the battery is in electrical communication with each of the charge ports to charge an electronic device when a charge cord for the electronic device is plugged into one of the charge ports. A solar panel is coupled to the housing and the solar panel is in electrical communication with the battery for charging the battery.

A mower is provided and includes: a case; a charging circuit provided in the case, and a combination of a wheel assembly and a charging interface assembly arranged on the case. The combination is electrically connected to the charging circuit. The combination includes: a wheel assembly; and a charging interface assembly electrically connected to the charging circuit. The wheel assembly and the charging interface assembly are integrated molding structure.

A power supply unit for an aerosol inhaler includes: a power supply able to discharge power to a load for generating an aerosol from an aerosol source; a connector able to be electrically connected to an external power supply; a control device configured to control at least one of charging and discharging of the power supply or configured to be able to convert power which is input from the connector into charging power for the power supply; and a zener diode provided between the connector and the control device so as to be connected in parallel with the control device. A maximum value of zener voltage of the zener diode is lower than a maximum operation guarantee voltage of the control device.

A double-sided male buckle clip adapted for use with two female buckle clips includes a clip body. The clip body has two male clip portions each of which has at least one resilient hook adapted for separably engaging a respective one of the female buckle clips. The male clip portions of the clip body are molded as a single piece.

A charger including a housing including a front wall, a rear wall, a top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall, an interface configured to engage a battery pack, and an air conditioning assembly coupled within the housing adjacent the interface. The air conditioning system is operable to suck an ambient air flow into the housing from outside the housing, reduce a temperature of the air flow to create a cooling air flow, and guide the cooling air flow to the battery pack interface.

An electric vehicle (EV) charging system includes a number of output connections (e.g., cables). Each of the output connections is connected to at least one head, and each head can be connected concurrently to an EV. A controller can direct a charging current, delivered over a dedicated circuit from an electric power supply, to a first one of the output connections if a first EV is connected to a head connected to the first one of the output connections. Then, the charging current to the first one of the output connections can be stopped, switched to a second one of the output connections, and restarted if a second EV is connected to a head connected to the second one of the output connections.

An integrated fuel management system can include a switching unit coupled to an electric vehicle (EV) charging station, a computer system, a first electronic unit, and a second electronic unit. The first electronic unit can be coupled to the switching unit and operable for providing state information for the EV charging station to the computer system. The second electronic unit can be coupled to a fueling station for types of vehicles that use fuel and operable for providing state information for the fueling station to the computer system. Further, the computer system can be operable for displaying the state information for the EV charging station and for displaying the state information for the fueling station.
