    摘要: An inductive battery system includes a primary coil system (102) and an inductive battery (122). The primary coil system (102) provides inductive power (106). The inductive battery (122) includes a secondary coil system (108), charge circuitry (110), output circuitry (112), and an internal battery (114). The secondary coil system (108) receives the inductive power (106) and provides electrical power. The charge circuitry (110) receives the electrical power and supplies suitable power to the internal battery (114) for charging and/or device operation. The output circuitry (112) receives electrical energy from the internal battery (114) and provides the electrical energy external to the system (100) as external power (124). The internal battery (114) stores the received electrical power from the charge circuitry (110) and supplies the electrical power to the output circuitry (112).

    摘要: A lighting device (100) includes a housing (100), a battery receiving region (108), an active electrical circuit (202), and a light source (118). The active electrical circuit (202) uses energy from batteries (110) received in the batter receiving region (110) of the flashlight (100) to power the light source (118). The electrical circuitry of the flashlight (110) is energy limited so that the flashlight is intrinsically safe for use in hazardous locations.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a housing having a first wall and a sliding tray having a second wall that is generally parallel to the first wall. The sliding tray slides between a retracted position and an extended position in which the first and second walls define a battery receiving region in the sliding tray. The apparatus further includes a first battery contact provided in the first wall and a second battery contact proximate to the second wall. The first and second battery contacts electrically communicate with battery charging circuitry, and the second battery contact slides relative to the second wall in a direction that changes a battery receiving distance between the first and second battery contacts.

    摘要: A method for determining an end of life of a battery includes determining a discharge capacity of the battery at a given moment in time, determining a discharge capacity at a functional endpoint of the battery, and determining a fuel remaining in the battery at the given moment in time as a function of both the discharge capacity at the given moment in time and the discharge capacity of the battery at the functional endpoint of the battery. The determined fuel remaining is indicative of an end of life of the battery.
