Inductive battery systems and methods of operation
View Patent ↗An inductive battery system includes a primary coil system ( 102 ) and an inductive battery ( 122 ). The primary coil system ( 102 ) provides inductive power ( 106 ). The inductive battery ( 122 ) includes a secondary coil system ( 108 ), charge circuitry ( 110 ), output circuitry ( 112 ), and an internal battery ( 114 ). The secondary coil system ( 108 ) receives the inductive power ( 106 ) and provides electrical power. The charge circuitry ( 110 ) receives the electrical power and supplies suitable power to the internal battery ( 114 ) for charging and/or device operation. The output circuitry ( 112 ) receives electrical energy from the internal battery ( 114 ) and provides the electrical energy external to the system ( 100 ) as external power ( 124 ). The internal battery ( 114 ) stores the received electrical power from the charge circuitry ( 110 ) and supplies the electrical power to the output circuitry ( 112 ).
