Abstract
The present invention relates to a battery charger (10) for charging a rechargeable battery (45, 46) which is located in a hearing aid (18, 20), the battery charger (10) comprising a power supply for supplying a charging current to the rechargeable battery (45, 46), a hearing aid connector for reception and accommodation of the hearing aid (18, 20), the connector having a set of first electrical terminals (36, 38) connected with the power supply and positioned for connection with the rechargeable battery (45, 46) when the hearing aid (18, 20) is positioned in the connector, wherein the charger (10) further comprises an actuator (32, 34) that is adapted for providing access to the battery (45, 46) for connection with the first electrical terminals (36, 38) when the hearing aid (18, 20) is positioned in the connector so that the user is not required to perform any handling of the hearing aid battery in order to recharge the battery. When the user inserts the hearing aid into the battery charger, the battery cover, such as a battery lid or a battery door, to the battery compartment is automatically opened whereby the hearing aid is turned off and access is provided for the first electrical terminals of the battery charger to the battery poles.
