A charging device for use in charging plural types of secondary batteries
includes a power source unit for supplying a charging current to an
object secondary battery, a battery type signal receiving unit for
receiving a battery type signal, a battery temperature signal receiving
unit for receiving a battery temperature signal, a blowing unit for
blowing an air to the secondary battery, a storage unit for storing
reference judging temperatures for determination of charging-incongruent
temperatures of the plural types of secondary batteries, in a matching
relationship with the types of the secondary batteries, and a control
unit. The control unit allows the blowing unit to perform a blowing
operation, if the temperature of the secondary battery exceeds a
reference judging temperature, and to stop the blowing operation, if
otherwise.
