The invention relates to a connection device (10) for charging a battery device on a vehicle, having an electrical alternating current interface (20) for receiving an alternating current connector and a direct current interface (30) for receiving a direct current connector (130), wherein the direct current interface (30) has a cover flap (40) which is mounted movably between a closed position (SP) which covers the direct current interface (30) and an open position (FP) which exposes the direct current interface (30). According to the invention, the direct current interface (30) has a catch mechanism (50) with a catch means (52) on the cover flap (40), said catch means locking with a mating catch means (54) of the cover flap (40) when in the open position (FP), wherein the mating catch means (54) has an actuating section (56) with which the direct current connector (130) makes contact and which unlocks the catch device (50) when the direct current connector is received in the direct current interface (30).
A connection device (10) for charging a battery device of a vehicle, having an electrical AC interface (20) for receiving an AC plug and a DC interface (30) for receiving a DC plug (130), wherein the DC interface (30) has a covering flap (40) which is mounted such that it can be moved between a closed position (SP), which covers the DC interface (30), and a released position (FP) which releases the DC interface (30), characterized in that the DC interface (30) has a latching mechanism (50) with a latching means (52) on the covering flap (40), which latching means latches with a mating latching means (54) of the covering flap (40) in the released position (FP), wherein the mating latching means (54) has an operating section (56) which, when the DC plug (130) is received in the DC interface (30), is contacted by said DC plug and releases the latching of the latching mechanism (50).
