Solar battery energizer

In combination with a battery normally considered unrechargeable due to safety concerns if too high a voltage or current is applied to said battery, a battery energizer comprising:

• means for supplying a safe level of electrical energy to said battery to energize said battery, said electrical energy supplying means comprising:
• solar cell means for generating a small current when light impacts thereon;
• and a diode;
• and
• terminal means for releasably receiving said battery therein, said terminal means operatively electrically connected to said solar cell means and said diode, said terminal means comprising:
• a first conductive plate physically mounted so that it is stationary with respect to said solar cell means;
• and a generally L-shaped second conductive plate, including a cantilevered spring portion, said second plate mounted so that said cantilevered spring portion is generally parallel to, and spaced from, said first terminal plate;
• said first and second terminal plates being electrically connected only when a battery is disposed between said cantilevered spring portion of said second plate and said first plate.

A battery energizer comprising:

• solar cell means for generating a small current when light impacts thereon;
• terminal means for releasably receiving a button battery therein, said terminal means electrically connected to said solar cell means;
• light emitting indicating means having a first condition indicating when a button battery received by said terminal means is fully energized, and having a second condition, different from said first condition, indicating that a button battery--when first placed in operative association with said terminal means--can be energized;
• a nonconductive material mounting plate, said solar cell means mounted on a first face of said mounting plate, and said terminal means mounted on a second face of said mounting plate;
• and
• means defining an opening in said mounting plate for receipt of a hook;
• a hook;
• and a suction cup connected to said hook so that said suction cup may support said mounting plate, and the components mounted thereon, via said hook.
