a battery cell configured to be charged with the power received by the power receiving unit.

2. The battery package of claim 1, further comprising a terminal unit configured to input and/or output voltage information of the battery cell and/or power status information related to a status of the power received by the power-receiving unit.

3. The battery package of claim 2, wherein the terminal unit includes:

a positive (+) voltage terminal and a negative (−

) voltage terminal configured to output the voltage information of the battery cell; and

a status information terminal configured to output the power status information.

4. The battery package of claim 3, wherein the status information terminal shares a ground with the negative (−

) voltage terminal.

5. The battery package of claim 3, further comprising a near field communication (NFC) antenna, wherein the terminal unit further includes an NFC terminal electrically connected to the NFC antenna to input and/or output a communication signal.

6. The battery package of claim 3, wherein the terminal unit further includes a battery identification (ID) terminal configured to output electrical characteristics information.

7. The battery package of claim 3, further comprising a charging control unit controlling a charging status of the battery cell, wherein the status information terminal outputs charging status information from the charging control unit.

8. The battery package of claim 3, wherein the status information terminal outputs the power status information related to the status of the power received by the power-receiving unit.

9. The battery package of claim 1, wherein the power-receiving unit includes:

a power-receiving coil configured to contactlessly receive the power; and

a power-receiving circuit configured to convert the power received by the power-receiving coil into charging power to charge the battery cell.

10. An electronic device, comprising:

a battery package including a power-receiving unit configured to contactlessly receive power and a battery cell configured to be charged with the power received by the power-receiving unit; and

an electronic device body configured to receive the power from the battery package.

11. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein:
