Original Abstract Submitted

A battery charger includes a housing, first and second charger interfaces, first and second vents, and a shutter. The first and second charger interfaces are formed on the housing. Each charger interface receives and charges a respective battery pack. The first and second vents are defined in the housing. Each vent provides an airflow path defined through the respective battery pack and the housing. The shutter is provided for each charger interface and can move between an actuated position, in which the shutter is oriented to at least partially block the airflow path, and an unactuated position, in which the shutter is out of the airflow path.
