A battery charging apparatus, which can be part of a battery charging network, operates to detect insertion of a battery, and to read information on the inserted battery. The inserted battery can be charged, although a charged battery is immediately output from a battery charging apparatus upon the insertion of the battery to be charged. Further, the charging and outputting operations can be controlled based on the read information. Such a system of the present invention can find application in the charging of all batteries, including batteries for electrical automobiles.
