1. A charging apparatus comprising:
a first noise filter that is coupled to a connector, the connector being configured to couple a direct-current power source to a battery, wherein the first noise filter reduces noise;
a second noise filter that is coupled to an AC/DC converter that converts alternating-current power supplied from an alternating-current power source to a direct-current power, the second noise filter being operative to reduce noise; and
a relay that is disposed between the first noise filter and the battery.
