A connector comprises: an elongated connector body defining a longitudinal direction with an electrical connector frame at one end thereof; the elongated connector body having a longitudinal alignment feature on the elongated connector body configured for aligning the elongated connector body, a guide feature defining a unique orientation thereof, and a retaining feature configured for retaining the elongated connector body in a connector guide.

A battery charger comprises: a housing having at least one cradle; a connector port for receiving at different times electrical plug connectors having different contact configurations; electrical receptacles in the connector port for receiving at different times electrical plug connectors associated with different electrical power supplies, plural electrical receptacles having different contact configurations; the plural electrical receptacles being closely adjacent such that an electrical connector inserted into one electrical receptacle physically prevents an electrical connector from being inserted into the other electrical receptacle; and an electrical circuit coupling electrical power received at the electrical receptacles to the at least one cradle.

The present disclosure provides a charging system that includes a charging adapter and a mobile terminal. The charging adapter includes: a second USB interface; and an adjusting circuit for rectifying and filtering the mains supply to obtain an original power signal, for performing a voltage adjustment on the original power signal, and for outputting a power signal after the voltage adjustment. The mobile terminal includes a first USB interface. P first power wires in the first USB interface and P second power wires in the second USB interface are correspondingly coupled, and Q first ground wires in the first USB interface and Q second ground wires in the second USB interface are correspondingly coupled. Because each first power wire and a corresponding second power wire are coupled, at least two charging circuits can be provided, and the charging system supports charging with a large current more than 3 A.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a battery charging system. The battery charging system includes battery charging circuitry configured to provide charging current to a battery. The battery charging system further includes feedback circuitry configured to generate a feedback signal indicative of a battery charging condition, wherein the battery charging system is configured to control the battery charging current based on, at least in part, the feedback signal. The battery charging system further includes feed forward circuitry configured to adjust the feedback signal to decrease battery charging current when a decrease in battery current draw exceeds a threshold, and wherein the feed forward circuitry is configured to decrease the battery charging current faster than the feedback circuitry.
