Abstract
A power cell and charger assembly for an electrical tool has a power cell with two locking devices and a charger base with a sliding cover. The power cell and the charger base slidably engage each other. By setting the locking devices composed of push buttons and biasing members, the power cell and the charger base can be firmly engaged and conveniently detached. Additionally, the sliding cover protects the electrodes from corroding or becoming dusty when power cell is not attached to the charger base. Therefore, the power cell is conveniently attached to or disengaged from the charger base, and the power cell and charger assembly has long life span when the electrodes are kept clean by the sliding cover.
