a battery attachment portion to which a battery pack downwardly slides to attach and from which the battery pack upwardly slides to detach in the wall-hanging manner; and a regulating member that engages with the wall surface such that the regulating member regulates a relative displacement of the main body housing with respect to the wall surface in a detachment direction of the battery pack, wherein:

the main body housing includes a two-piece structure in which a lower divided housing and an upper divided housing are mated with each other at a joining surface, the upper divided housing including the battery attachment portion and the lower divided housing being disposed closest to the wall surface when the charger is mounted along the wall surface;

a lower recessed portion that is inwardly recessed in a side face area viewing from a view perpendicular to the joining surface is provided in the lower divided housing; an entirety of the lower recessed portion does not overlap the battery attachment portion viewing from the view perpendicular to the joining surface;

a fixing hole for screwing the main body housing to the wall surface is provided on a bottom edge portion of the lower recessed portion; and a fixing screw that is inserted to the fixing hole for screw-fastening functions as the regulating member;

an upper recessed portion is provided in the upper divided housing such that the upper recessed portion is positioned directly above the lower recessed portion viewing from the view perpendicular to the joining surface; and

a bottom edge portion of the upper recessed portion is positioned above the fixing hole.

2. The charger according to claim 1 , wherein a through-hole that is coaxial with the fixing hole is provided in the bottom edge portion of the upper recessed portion.

3. The charger according to claim 2 , wherein the through-hole functions as a strap attachment hole for attaching a strap for carrying the charger on the shoulder.
