A battery charger for charging batteries of varying sizes is disclosed. Batteries to be charged are inserted into a recess in the battery charger housing and are captivated by a lip portion which extends into the recess. The lip portion has a plurality of surfaces, one of which surfaces contacts a surface of a battery of one size and maintains the position of the battery against the charging contacts of the battery charger. Different size batteries contact different lip surfaces.
