- the reference voltage of the battery pack 10 positioned on the high voltage side is a voltage at the negative output terminal 34 of the battery pack 10, and the reference voltage of the main controller 150 is Different. Therefore, the voltage measuring unit 134 cannot directly measure the output voltage of the battery pack 10. Therefore, one voltage measuring unit 134 (the one located above in FIG.
- the other voltage measuring unit 134 is connected to the positive input terminal 112 and the negative input terminal 114 disposed in the other battery receiving unit 106a, and outputs the output voltage of the battery pack 10 attached to the other battery receiving unit 106a. It can be measured.
- Measured values by each voltage measuring unit 134 are input to the main controller 150.
- the measured value by the voltage measuring unit 134 corresponds to the charge level of the battery pack 10.
- the main controller 150 has a tool-side alarm terminal when a measured value by at least one voltage measuring unit 134 is out of a pre-stored allowable range (specifically, when it is below a pre-stored allowable value).
- An alarm signal is output from 178 to the main body 52 of the electric tool. Thereby, the power FET 64 in the main body 52 is turned off, and the power supply from the battery pack 10 to the motor 60 is stopped. At this time, the main controller 150 turns on the indicator 130 corresponding to the battery pack 10 in which the measured value becomes abnormal, and notifies the user that the battery pack 10 needs to be replaced or charged.
- the main controller 150 turns off the power FET 162 in the adapter 100 and electrically opens (cuts) the power supply circuit 160. To do.
- the main controller 150 may be configured to turn off the power FET 162 without outputting an alarm signal to the main body 52 of the electric tool. According to this configuration, the main body 52 of the power tool does not necessarily need to include the alarm terminal 78.
- the adapter 100 can stop the discharge of the battery pack 10 in response to the alarm signal output from the battery pack 10. Further, even when no alarm signal is output from the battery pack 10, the discharge of the battery pack 10 can be stopped according to the measured output voltage or discharge current of the battery pack 10. Thereby, the battery pack 10 can be protected. Even when the power FET 162 is turned off, the electrical connection between the main controller 150 and the battery pack 10 is maintained. That is, even after the power FET 162 is turned off, the main controller 150 can continue to operate with the power from the battery pack 10.
- the adapter 100 not only the battery pack 10 having an alarm function but also the battery pack 12 having no alarm function can be attached to each battery receiving portion 106a. Even if the battery pack 12 does not have an alarm function, the adapter 100 outputs an alarm signal from the tool side alarm terminal 178 to the main body 52 of the electric tool according to the output voltage of the battery pack 10, The power supply from the battery pack 12 to the main body 52 can be stopped by turning off the power FET 64. Therefore, the adapter 100 can prevent the battery packs 10 and 12 from being overdischarged regardless of whether or not the battery packs 10 and 12 have an alarm function. When the battery pack 10 has an alarm function, the discharge of the battery pack 10 can be stopped at an appropriate timing by using the alarm signal. Note that the battery pack 10 having an alarm function and the battery pack 12 not having an alarm function can be attached to the adapter 100 at the same time.
- an alarm signal is output from the tool side alarm terminal 178 to the main body 52 of the electric tool, the power FET 64 in the main body 52 is turned off, and the motor 60 is turned off. Stop power supply completely.
- the power supply to the motor 60 may be partially limited by turning the power FET 162 on and off intermittently. Even with this method, overdischarge of the battery pack 10 can be significantly prevented.
- the adapter 100 of this embodiment further includes two bypass circuits 122.
- One bypass circuit 122 electrically connects the positive input terminal 112 and the negative input terminal 114 provided in one battery receiving unit 106a to each other.

- Each bypass circuit 122 includes a resistance element 124 and a diode 126. The cathode of the diode 126 is connected to the positive input terminal 112 via the resistance element 124, and the anode of the diode 126 is connected to the negative input terminal 114.
- the adapter 100 does not have the bypass circuit 122.
- the controller 150 cannot receive power supply from the battery packs 10 and 12. This is because the positive input terminal 112 and the negative input terminal 114 are not electrically connected to each other in the battery receiving unit 106 a in which the battery packs 10 and 12 are not attached, and the power supply circuit 160 cannot form a closed circuit with respect to the main controller 150. Because.
- the adapter 100 of this embodiment in the battery receiving portion 106a in which the battery packs 10 and 12 are not attached, the positive input terminal 112 and the negative input terminal 114 are electrically connected to each other via the bypass circuit 122. The Therefore, if the battery packs 10 and 12 are attached to at least one battery receiving unit 106a, the main controller 150 can receive power from the battery packs 10 and 12 and start its operation.
- the bypass circuit 122 includes the diode 126, the bypass circuit 122 is substantially cut off in the battery receiving unit 106a in which the battery packs 10 and 12 are mounted. Therefore, when the two battery packs 10 and 12 are attached to the adapter 100 and electric power is supplied to the motor 60, a large current to the motor 60 does not flow through the bypass circuit 122. However, if a momentary contact failure (so-called chattering) of terminals occurs between the battery packs 10 and 12 and the adapter 100, a current to the motor 60 may flow into the bypass circuit 122. Therefore, in the bypass circuit 122 of the present embodiment, the resistance element 124 is provided, and the current flowing through the bypass circuit 122 is limited.

When the charge level of at least one battery cell 20 is out of the allowable range, the battery controller 22 turns off the power FET 44 and voluntarily stops the discharge. Further, when the current value measured by the shunt resistor 42 exceeds the stored allowable value, the battery controller 22 turns off the power FET 44 and stops the discharge spontaneously.
- the function in which the battery pack 18 measures its own state and stops the discharge spontaneously is called an auto-stop function.
- the main controller 150 can detect that the battery pack 18 has an auto-stop function based on the ID information received from the battery pack 18.
