Abstract

Apparatus and methods to wirelessly charge batteries within a radius of a power source. A power transmitter generates a power signal of specific configuration which is received by the power charger. The power charger harvests the received power signal and stores the energy contained within for the purpose of charging target battery or batteries. The typical uses of this invention are but not limited to the home, car, office, and work place. Anywhere where rechargeable batteries are used in a device where they need to be placed or physically removed from the device for recharge by conventional wired chargers, this invention provides method to prolong battery life in such a way to extend the time between a physical wired recharge or eliminate such events all together.

Claims (30)

1. A wireless battery charger via carrier frequency signal for devices with batteries where it is not convenient to run electrical wires or place the device in a charger for charging batteries and for portable devices that can benefit from either partial or full battery recharge without connecting to a hard wired charger comprising:
