Abstract
A charger compatible with different-sized rechargeable batteries of mobile telephones includes a body for charging the battery and an adapter optionally utilized to electrically connect the rechargeable battery with the body. In a preferred embodiment, the body is detachably mounted to an under face of the adapter and electrically connected with the adapter. The battery is detachably mounted to a top face of the adapter and electrically connected with the adapter. The adapter may have different configurations adaptable for different-sized mobile telephone batteries. In an alternative preferred embodiment, the battery is directly mounted to a surface of the body and electrically connected with the body. With this arrangement, expense for purchasing a different charger can be eliminated when a user attempts to use a second mobile telephone having a size different from that of a first mobile telephone, because only the adapter needs to be replaced and the first body can be re-used.
