a body configured to generate suction power capable of sucking dust together with air using a motor;
a rechargeable battery configured to supply electric power to the motor; and
a charger configured to charge the battery at a charging rate of 3 C or higher and lower than 10 C;
a body controller disposed in the body and connected to the motor via an electric wire; and
a charger controller disposed in the charger, wherein
the body controller is configured to
acquire, from the battery, cell voltage information indicating a cell voltage, cell temperature information indicating a cell temperature, and battery identification information for identifying the battery via a first signal path that electrically connects the body controller to the battery, and
output, to the charger controller, the cell voltage information, the cell temperature information, and the battery identification information thus acquired via a second signal path that electrically connects the body controller to the charger, and
the charger controller is configured to control at least one of a charging current and a charging voltage based on the cell voltage information, the cell temperature information, and the battery identification information.
