Contact point power pad for battery charger
An apparatus, system and method for providing a contact point power pad for use with a battery charger, such as may reside in a mobile device. The apparatus, system and method may include a base insulation pad, a plurality of alternately charged strips electrically connected to at least one voltage source and physically atop the base insulation pad, and a plurality of raised insulating ridges interstitially between alternating ones of the alternately charged strips. The apparatus, system and method may also include a mobile device for use with a power pad. The mobile device may include three contact balls electrically associated with at least one battery charger for providing charging power to the at least one battery charger.
1. A power pad, comprising:
a base;
a plurality of alternately charged strips electrically connected to at least one voltage source and associated with the base; and
a plurality of low friction insulating ridges interstitially between alternating ones of the alternately charged strips for slidably distributing at least one of at least three received electrical contacts onto a first charged one of the alternately charged strips, and at least a second of the at least three electrical contacts onto a differently charged one of the at least three electrical contacts.
2. The power pad of claim 1 , wherein the base is flexible.
3. The power pad of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of alternately charged strips are flexible.
4. The power pad of claim 2 , wherein the low friction insulating ridges are flexible.
5. The power pad of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of alternately charged strips comprise one of copper and aluminum.
6. The power pad of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of alternately charged strips comprise pads.
7. The power pad of claim 1 , wherein the voltage source comprises a DC voltage source.
8. The power pad of claim 1 , wherein the DC voltage comprises an AC-DC converted source.
