Abstract: In an embodiment, adaptive charging of a battery is disclosed. In an embodiment, a device is disclosed comprising: a battery; at least one sensor configured to sense an outward pressure exerted by the battery; a monitoring module configured to monitor the outward pressure of the battery and at least one of a temperature, an age, a manufacturer, a state of charge, an impedance, and number of charging cycles of the battery; a control module configured to select a charging profile for the battery based on at least one of the sensed and/or monitored battery related variables; and a charging module configured to charge the battery according to a charging profile selected by the control module.

Abstract: In one example, a system comprises an electronic auxiliary device with a receiving inductive charging coil connected to it. The system further comprises a handheld electronic apparatus comprising a power source and a transmitting inductive charging coil. The handheld electronic apparatus further comprises a controller configured to cause a wireless electrical energy transfer from the transmitting inductive charging coil to the receiving inductive charging coil, in response to determining that the transmitting inductive charging coil of the handheld electronic apparatus is in proximity to the receiving inductive charging coil connected to the electronic auxiliary device.
