A battery pack which includes a battery pack electronic control circuit adapted to control an attached power tool and / or an attached charger. The battery pack includes additional protection circuits, methodologies and devices to protect against fault conditions within the pack, as the pack is operatively attached to and providing power to the power tool, and / or as the pack is operatively attached to and being charged by the charger.

There is provided a planar inductive battery charging system designed to enable electronic devices to be recharged. The system includes a planar charging module having a charging surface on which a device to be recharged is placed. Within the charging module and parallel to the charging surface is at least one and preferably an array of primary windings that couple energy inductively to a secondary winding formed in the device to be recharged. The invention also provides secondary modules that allow the system to be used with conventional electronic devices not formed with secondary windings.

A method for recharging a battery pack includes attaching a portable charger to a user, which portable charger includes or is attached to a self-contained power supply and wherein a first charging port of the portable charger is disposed, e.g., on a belt worn by the user, hanging the battery pack on the belt while the battery pack is physically engaged and in electrical communication with a power tool, and initiating a transfer of power from the charger to the battery pack when the first charging port is at least proximal to a second charging port that is in electrical communication with at least one battery cell of the battery pack. A portable charging system capable of performing this method, as well as an adapter for use in performing this method, are also disclosed.

External power source, charger, system and method for transcutaneous energy transfer. An implantable medical device has a first housing having operational componentry for providing the therapeutic output. A secondary housing is mechanically coupled to the first housing having a secondary coil operatively coupled to the componentry, the secondary coil capable of receiving energy from the external source. A magnetically shielding material is positioned between the secondary coil and the first housing. An external power source has an external housing. A primary coil carried in the external housing, the primary coil being capable of inductively energizing the secondary coil when the housing is externally placed in proximity of the secondary coil with a first surface of the housing positioned closest to the secondary coil, the first surface of the housing being thermally conductive surface. An energy absorptive material carried within the external housing.

Disclosed herein is a portable charger for a mobile phone. The portable charger includes a front housing, a rear housing, a belt clip, a fastening unit, a pair of clamps, a release button, an interface connector, a secondary battery and a charge control unit. The portable charger is easy to carry, can easily charge the battery of the mobile phone with direct current power charged in a secondary battery, and can simultaneously charge the secondary battery and the battery of the mobile phone using a travel adaptor.
