Battery charger for supplying to the battery charger, wherein the circular recess is provided at the bottom with a plus introduction rod disposed at a position opposite to the plus contact of the charger connection, and a minus side of the charger connection. A minus side introduction rod arranged at a position facing the contact portion, a candle fixing rod inserted into a large candle fixing hole of a charger connection portion, and a candle insertion small hole inserted into a charger connection portion of a charger connection portion. With the tapered rod for fixing the candle, the positive introduction rod of the circular recess is securely brought into contact with the positive contact part of the charger connection part, and the negative introduction rod is securely connected to the negative side of the charger connection part. Can be brought into contact with the contact Runode, an advantageous effect that the rechargeable battery candles easily and definitely can and child charge obtained. According to the candle system of claim 3, a candle system having a plurality of rechargeable battery candles according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of current supply lines for supplying a charging current to the plurality of rechargeable battery candles. And an AC / DC converter for converting AC current to DC current, one power line for supplying charging current from the AC / DC converter, and a connector capable of connecting and separating the power line and a plurality of current supply lines. As a result, the current required for each rechargeable battery candle, that is, the current much smaller than the power line current, is distributed from the connector through multiple current supply lines, so the wire diameter of the current supply line is reduced. In addition, since the current supply line and the power line can be separated by the connector, only the easily supplied current supply line and the connector are connected to the rechargeable battery candle. , Since the accommodation of portions other than the rechargeable battery candle becomes easy and advantageous effect that it is possible to improve the appearance obtained. According to the candle system of the fourth aspect, in the candle system of the third aspect, the AC-DC converter is connected to and disconnected from the charging current by remote control, so that the AC-DC converter approaches the AC-DC converter. Since the charging operation is not required, the advantageous effect that the handling and operability of the system itself can be improved can be obtained.
