1. A system for wireless transmission of power to a battery-operated device, the system comprising:

  • a power receiving apparatus comprising at least one receiving resonator and a housing dimensioned to engage with a battery compartment of a battery-operated device; and

    a power transmitting apparatus comprising;

    a first pair of source resonators spaced from one another, wherein each source resonator in the first pair comprises a loop of conducting material surrounding a common first axis;

    a second pair of source resonators spaced from one another, wherein each source resonator in the second pair comprises a loop of conducting material surrounding a common second axis perpendicular to the first axis;

    at least one additional source resonator comprising a loop of conducting material surrounding a common third axis perpendicular to the first and second axes; and

    a controller coupled to the first and second pairs of source resonators and to the at least one additional resonator and configured to provide non-radiative wireless power transfer from the power transmitting apparatus to the power receiving apparatus by alternately activating in sequence;

    the first pair of source resonators and the second pair of source resonators;

    the first pair of source resonators and the at least one additional source resonator; and

    the second pair of source resonators and the at least one additional source resonator.
