A power station can have a power supply and a connector that has at least one power contact for outputting power from the power supply to charge a battery pack, a first auxiliary contact for delivering current to a load, and a second auxiliary contact for receiving a voltage signal. A current sensor can measure the current delivered via the first auxiliary contact, A controller can be configured to determine, based at least in part on the measured current and the received voltage signal, whether the load is a) a battery pack inside a mobile robot that is electrically coupled to a charger, which is coupled to the power station via the connector; or b) a battery pack coupled directly to the power station via the connector.
