A portable power driven system has a manually movable frame. In one example, an internal combustion engine and a generator device that generates AC power are supported on the frame. The internal combustion engine drives the generator device. An electrically powered starting device is coupled to the internal combustion engine. A control panel is coupled to the frame and includes at least one AC outlet and a battery receptacle that is electrically coupled to the starting device. The battery receptacle is materially the same as a foot of a cordless power tool that receives a battery pack. According to one aspect, the battery pack for the cordless power tool may be permanently mounted in the battery receptacle and provides electrical power to the starting device. The battery receptacle may be contained in an enclosure. The enclosure may provide biasing members urging the battery pack into the battery receptacle.

The system of claim 1, wherein the charger is substantially enclosed by the base portion and the cage portion. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the cage portion comprises a plurality of ribs arranged to define vents in the cage portion. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the charger assembly is coupled to the housing of the control panel assembly. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the charger assembly further comprises a wire collar adapted to support a wire connection from the charger. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the wire connection comprises a wire extending from the charger, passing through the wire collar and terminating with a plug. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the plug is insertable into the at least one AC outlet. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the battery pack is charged when the internal combustion engine is running and the plug is inserted into the at least one AC outlet. 9. The system of claim 5, wherein the wire connection extends through the housing. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the charger comprises a stand alone charger that is substantially enclosed within the base and cage portions. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the stand alone charger comprises a wire extending from the base and cage portions and terminating with a plug. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the plug is insertable into the at least one AC outlet. 13.

The system of claim 1, wherein the battery receptacle receives a battery pack that is one of a plurality of battery packs having different voltages, the system including a voltage regulation circuit coupling the battery receptacle to the starting device, the voltage regulation circuit providing at an output coupled to the starting device a voltage at a desired level for the starting device regardless of the voltage of the battery pack received in the battery receptacle. 15. A portable electrical generator system, comprising: a manually movable frame supporting an internal combustion engine that drives a generator device supported on the frame that generates AC power, the internal combustion engine coupled to the generator device;a starting device coupled to the internal combustion engine; anda control panel assembly coupled to the frame, comprising: a control panel having at least one AC outlet coupled to the generator device;a housing having a battery receptacle therein electrically coupled to the starting device, the battery receptacle adapted to receive a cordless power tool battery pack for providing electrical power to the starting device when the battery pack is received in the battery receptacle; anda charger assembly substantially enclosed within the control panel and the housing, comprising: a stand alone charger electrically coupled between the battery pack received in the receptacle and the generator device when the internal combustion engine is running to charge the battery pack and electrically decoupled from the battery pack when the internal combustion engine is being started; anda base portion coupled to a cage portion, the stand alone charger received on the base portion and substantially enclosed by the base portion and cage portion. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the battery receptacle comprises a keying feature configured to mate with a complementary key of the cordless tool battery pack when the cordless tool battery pack is properly inserted in the battery receptacle. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the keying feature is configured to inhibit insertion of the cordless tool battery pack when incorrectly inserted in the battery receptacle. 18. The system of claim 16, wherein the keying feature is configured to indicate a battery chemistry of the cordless tool battery pack when inserted in the battery receptacle. 19. The system of claim 16, wherein the battery receptacle is configured to determine a battery chemistry of the cordless tool battery pack by sensing an indicator mechanism on the cordless tool battery pack. 20. The system of claim 15, wherein the battery receptacle is configured to determine a battery chemistry of the cordless tool battery pack by sensing an indicator mechanism on the cordless tool battery pack. 21. The system of claim 15, wherein the stand alone charger is plugged into the at least one AC outlet. 22. The system of claim 15, wherein the stand alone charger is electrically coupled to the generator device by hard wiring.
