Abstract

A charging system for a battery device of a handheld tool includes a charging device provided to inductively charge the battery device in a charging operation, the charging device having at least one induction charging unit which has at least one charging coil having a main coil extension. A gap is provided between the battery device and the charging device in a charging operation. A ratio between (i) the at least one main coil extension and (ii) a minimum clearance between the at least one charging coil and a surface defining the gap is at most 30/1.

Claims (10)

1. A system, comprising:

a battery device including a first induction charging unit that includes at least one first charging coil having a main coil extension; and

a charging device configured to transmit a charging energy inductively to the battery device, the charging device including a second induction charging unit that includes at least one second charging coil having a main coil extension;

wherein:

between the battery device and charging device is a gap delimited by a surface of the battery device and a surface of the charging device;

a ratio of (i) the main coil extension of the at least one first charging coil to (ii) a clearance between the at least one first charging coil and the surface of the battery device is at most 30/1;

a ratio of (i) the main coil extension of the at least one second charging coil to (ii) a clearance between the at least one second charging coil and the surface of the charging device is at most 30/1; wherein at least one of the ratios is at least 7/1.

2. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the ratios is between 20/1 and 14/1.

3. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one second charging coil has a main coil extension of at least 50 mm.

4. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the battery device is of a handheld tool.
