We claim: 1. A combination comprising: an electrical component including a housing defining a receptacle, an electrical component connector assembly located within the receptacle, and an electrical circuit supported by the housing; and a battery charger removably connectable to the electrical component, the battery charger including a battery charger housing, wherein the battery charger housing is at least partially positioned within the receptacle when the battery charger is connected to the electrical component, a charging circuit supported by the battery charger housing and electrically connectable to a battery and to the power source, the charging circuit operable to charge the battery, and a battery charger connector assembly electrically connectable to the electrical component connector assembly. 2. The combination of claim 1, further comprising a locking mechanism for selectively locking the battery charger to the electrical component. 3. The combination of claim 2, wherein the locking mechanism includes an actuator manipulatable by a user to unlock the battery charger from the electrical component. 4. The combination of claim 1, wherein the battery charger housing is completely positioned within the receptacle when the battery charger is connected to the electrical component. 5. The combination of claim 1, wherein the battery charger connector assembly supports the battery. 6. The combination of claim 1, wherein one of the electrical component and the battery charger includes a projection and the other of the electrical component and the battery charger includes a groove, the projection being positionable and movable within the groove to guide the battery charger into and out of the receptacle. 7. The combination of claim 1, wherein the receptacle is a first receptacle and the battery charger is a first battery charger, the electrical component housing further defining a second receptacle, and the combination further comprising: a second battery charger removably connectable to the electrical component and at least partially positioned within the second receptacle when connected to the electrical component, the second battery charger including a second battery charger housing, and a second charging circuit supported by the second battery charger housing and electrically connectable to a battery and to the power source, the second charging circuit operable to charge the battery. 8. A combination comprising: a radio including a radio housing defining a receptacle, and an audio circuit supported by the radio housing, the audio circuit operable to produce an audio signal and being electrically connectable to a power source; and a battery charger removably connectable to the radio, the battery charger including a battery charger housing, wherein the battery charger housing is at least partially positioned within the receptacle when the battery charger is connected to the radio, and a charging circuit supported by the battery charger housing and electrically connectable to a battery and to the power source, the charging circuit operable to charge the battery. 9. The combination of claim 8, further comprising a locking mechanism for selectively locking the battery charger to the radio. 10. The combination of claim 9, wherein the locking mechanism includes an actuator manipulatable by a user to unlock the battery charger from the radio. 11. The combination of claim 8, wherein the battery charger housing is completely positioned within the receptacle when the battery charger is connected to the radio. 12. The combination of claim 8, wherein the battery charger includes an electrical connector assembly for supporting the battery and for electrically connecting the battery to the charging circuit. 13. The combination of claim 8, wherein one of the radio and the battery charger includes a projection and the other of the radio and the battery charger includes a groove, the projection being positionable and movable within the groove to guide the battery charger into and out of the receptacle. 14. The combination of claim 8, wherein the radio further includes a radio connector assembly and the battery charger further includes a battery charger connector assembly, wherein the battery charger connector assembly engages the radio connector assembly to electrically connect the battery charger to the radio. 15. The combination of claim 8, wherein the receptacle is a first receptacle and the battery charger is a first battery charger, the radio housing further defining a second receptacle, and the combination further comprising: a second battery charger removably connectable to the radio and at least partially positioned within the second receptacle when connected to the radio, the second battery charger including a second battery charger housing, and a second charging circuit supported by the second battery charger housing and electrically connectable to a battery and to the power source, the second charging circuit operable to charge the battery.
