Abstract

A system for charging a personal electronic device (“PED”). The system includes a power storage module (or “portable power source”) including a magnetic transfer module, a charging module, and a storage module. The power storage module wirelessly transfers power to the PED via a device interface module, to power a device charging module in the PED.

Claims

1. A system for charging a personal electronic device comprising:

a portable power storage module comprising;

a magnetic transfer module;

a charging module; and

a storage module;

a device interface module; and

a device charging module,

wherein the power storage module wirelessly transfers power to the personal electronic device via the device interface module.

2. A method for charging a personal electronic device comprising:

charging an external power module;

placing the external power module in proximity to the personal electronic device;

initiating a magnetic transfer of power from the external power module to the personal electronic device; and

storing the transferred power in an internal power storage module of the personal electronic device.
